Henschke Wines Tasting with Johann Henschke (WineHouse, Los Angeles): Really different on the nose. Much more flower notes, it’s like putting your nose into a bouquet. Honeysuckle, chamomile, lilies. Fern. There are melon and grapefruit as well. Palate is as acidic with pink grapefruit, distant passion fruit but there isn’t as much salinity. The finish reminds me of a margarita to the point that I get agave syrup sweetness alongside the lingering acidity. 9/18

White fruits, floral and candy flavors in the bouquet. On the palate fresh and clean and tight. Lemon and intense medium+ acidity. Tight but also elegant wine. Will improve by cellaring for 5 – 10 years. No score for today.

22nd Canberra International Riesling Challenge (Albert Hall, Canberra): Apple over lime, slightly meaty, funky and reductive notes and a touch of sulphur prickle. Medium plus intensity acidity dominates the palate lending tartness to the green apple and lime fruit. Meh.
