2020 Lang Vineyards Riesling Farm Reserve

Some nice petrol notes when first opened. This wine has some nice residual sugar -- which I like in my Rieslings -- and a decent acid balance at the finish. Some nice honey and flowers provide some complexity.

A hint of petrol when first opened -- and a bit of citrus -- even lime. I found this wine very dry and I prefer my Rieslings with a tiny bit more residual sugar. This was very dry and lacked some of the flowery flavours that I look for in Riesling.

Really nice light-med bodied Syrah. Plum, cherry and some spice with good balance. Faboulous value on sale.
