Community Tasting Notes 5

  April 24, 2021 - Straw colour with a green tinge - a bit surprising given the age. The nose has a nice intensity and perfume - lemon curd and some chalky minerality. Palate: medium mouthweight with a good finish. The acidity has faded a bit but there is enough there. My last bottle but if I had more I would drink up.

  January 14, 2017 - Riesling Rampage 2017: Lime, pear, florals and some honey. Really nice clean and bright palate profile, with good lifting acidity that cuts through the palate well. I wonder if with further age the acid might stick out more, but for now it is ticking along well.

  November 9, 2012 - Quite closed initially, but orange and lime bouquet with a steely note. Somewhat tart apple and citrus on the palate but in a pleasant way - not the zing a 2010 Helm Riesling gives. Rather savoury and finishes with a strong mineral taste. Will give it's sibling another few years and compare notes.

  August 31, 2009 - Fragrant florals with lime and some honey. Fresh and bright palate with good acid and drive. Lovely with some food.
