Scubarex brought this Australian riesling from Clare Valley to last night's off-line at Mykha's.
Pale, almost clear color. Pretty lavender bouquet, with some wet stones in the background. Very crisp and concentrated citrus falvors. Not showing much right now. Probably needs time, and definitely needs to be consumed with food. 88P(?)
No formal notes but I agree it was better than the 2001 that we had last year. Perhaps the driest of the 5 Rieslings that we tried at this dinner (the Wyncroft Riesling from Michigan was close). 87-88 points.
Thanks Scubarex.
