This is moderately rich in colour for a young dry Riesling. It has a fresh hue and a nose of talc, lime and lemon zest, pineapple (?) and a whiff of African violets. The palate is somewhat rounded and moderately structured. It has a clean entry, is dry and full length, and has an elegant finish and a persistent aftertaste. It has cleansing mineral flavours tasting of crushed lime, lemon curd and sherbet. My best guess is that it will show its best at 3 to 6-7 years, depending on the cellar. Review in about 2006/07. |
