| TASTING NOTE: Still in embryonic stage, this riesling nevertheless shows considerable aromatic promise made from evidently ripe and fully developed grapes, with intense citrus-lemon-lime-tangerine and peach-apricot aromas. The palate is expectedly tightly wound, with very firm and sharp but ripe acids balanced by a pinch of residual sugar, all layered on a light, 10% alcohol frame. Yet flavour intensity is high and length is excellent - this has some genuine stuffing and concentration. One wishes this had been kept a few more month in tank before bottling to let flavours develop; as it stands, you'll have to tuck this in the cellar and be patient for a year or two. Tasted March 2017. Value Rating ***. Score - 91 (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com, March 13, 2017) |
