Was on a bit of an Eden Valley Riesling kick last night. Sort of have been for at least a month now actually…
These Karra Yerta’s have all been excellent. I’ve probably enjoyed the 2006 & the 2009 the most, for very different reasons. I think that this one, like the 2009 will become something pretty special in the cellar. No that it’s difficult to drink now.
Surprisingly geared more towards lemons and granny smiths on the nose and palate. There is still some Eden Valley lime, bathsalts and river pebbles but it’s all currently very restrained and tightly wound. There is no mistaking the “quiet” intensity there on the palate though, suggesting a bright future.
It’s all very linear and narrow for the moment, with some enjoyable spice and a touch of unripe peach and peach stone towards the mid palate. A little bit of toast is starting to appear, but I’d put this one away for now. The length is really good and all the elements are in place. It just needs time. Patience my friends, patience…
