Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Thursday, November 16, 2017 - Dinner with Simon, Blair and Nick at Noble Rot: Served to me blind, I had trouble placing the wine. Of course, on the reveal, it all made sense ... A top shelf Austrian Riesling ... A ripe and rich bouquet with a hint of botrytis. Aromas of mandarins, spicy baked apples, florals and slatey minerals. In the mouth, oily and viscous. More prominent minerality than picked up on the bouquet. Peaches, apricots, passionfruit and hints of other exotic fruit. Also, some soil and a suggestion of dry underbrush. Sparkling acidity and, again, nicely poised. Ideally, it needs a minimum of another 2-3 years, I'd think.
