Community Tasting Notes 2

  May 26, 2011 - Intense, brilliant gold in the glass. This has plenty of aromatic weight and ripeness offering. Green apple, candied citrus and a touch of tropical are encased into sappy and spice-laden honey scents. There's serious loads of fine spices here and the nose comes out as viscous. Serious depth here. The palate retains fleshy texture and ripe fruit kept in tight tension by a terrific acidic structure. Strikingly long finish on a bed of captivating spices. I am again impressed by the way this achieves this weight, structure and presence with such agility with a very reasonable alcohol level (12%) while managing at the same time to come across bone dry. Rebuy: yes.

  December 31, 2010 - This showed lots of depth and intensity. Rich and with good weight, even given the modest alcohol level. Delivers impressive round texture and intensity of flavour on a fully ripe acidic backbone, achieving great balance rather effortlessly. The piercing, citrus acidity offers plenty of grip and flavour-enhancing power and is especially impressive. This does not shout too much for credit but it's quite a Riesling. Rebuy: yes.
