Community Tasting Note

Thursday, December 17, 2020 - Lovely pale gold colour.
N: medium (+) intensity. Aromas of ripe peach, apricot, maybe some tinned, exotic fruit character. Some botrytis? There an honeyed, richness to it suggesting so, but balanced by freshness. Some biscuity notes to.
P: Lovely texture, so supple and smooth with the acidity backing it up. Added flavours of lanolin coming through, joining those noted on the nose. Long finish. Hint of bitterness on the finish but kept in check.

This is a rich, ripe, rounded dry Riesling with some apparent botrytis influence which suggests sweet notes. It's at a very nice level of maturity at the moment so whilst I'm sure it will hold, I would suggest drinking now. Not one for Riesling heads chasing pure minerality, and it falls short of a religious experience, but a delicious complex wine.
