CHARLES BAKER |
| Bright light straw colour. Intense, mineral-driven, slightly spicy, ripe lemon-apple nose with lots of chalky notes plus a touch of reductive sulphury notes. Fairly dry, medium-light bodied, fairly fleshy, intense, ripe lemon-melon-apple flavours with lots of mineral notes on the lingering, very tangy, crisp, unoaked finish. Has 10.1% alcohol and 18 g/L residual sugar. TONY ASPLER / 88.5-points - Reductive, browning apple nose; medium-bodied, minerally, apple flavour - showing its age. This REPEAT is not up to when it last appeared in Vintages (***) on November 12, 2016 at $35.20 and was Recommended. |

| TASTING NOTE: A vibrant riesling with both lightness and a great concentration of flavours. Cool stone and a touch of petrol are generously offered on the nose while the mineral driven palate offers pear and peach along with pleasant white flower. Sweet and sour notes akin to lime cordial linger on the finish of great length. Impressive intensity and focus. Some evolution is beginning to set in taming the acidity. Score - 93 (Sara d'Amato, winealign.com, Nov. 10,2016) |
