A very impressive riesling - power, grace and sophistication all wrapped up in a beautiful package.
For a cool climate riesling, 13 years have allowed to settle down to lose some of the sharpness of youth. Lovely citrus and lime profile but with a layer minerality and freshness that made it special. Lovely flinty finish.
Drink now or 8+ years.

Smells like a bag of mandarins. To taste, more mandarin, slightly honeyed lemon, and a backbone of slatey acidity that drives and drives. Heaps of length. This has years ahead of it, so alive, pure, and vital. Touch and go for 96.
