Why, a really good Clare Valley Riesling from the 2012 vintage – who would have thunk it? Juicy enough to enjoy now although it will benefit from a stint lying down too.
Apple blossom and jasmine florals with lime, lemon and hints of green papaya. Integrated if driving acidity and plenty of talc-like minerality. Tart and tangy with considerable length and the inference of spice. 93 Very Good
