West Brook Marlborough Riesling 2002

[Skeeter]

Cracked this one last night... Just as good as I remember from the cellar door tasting. (As it should be... all hail the mighty Stelvin screwcap!) [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]

From the tasting notes: "Off-dry wine with citrus, Granny Smith and honeysuckle aromas. Citrus and stone fruit flavours on the palate with a hint of honey and ginger."

I'm glad to say I DID note the honey, hiding in the background though it is. (The bottle states they should develop over the next few years. Might have to pick up another bottle and hide it away somewhere.) Nice and crisp, nice balanced acid and a spectacularly long finish. Makes my tastebuds do a Mexican Wave by the feel of it. Would probably be killer with seafood

Skeeters Tasting Notes Say: Excellente!

Availabilty: It's on Winesearcher for US$8.25. I paid NZ$17.95 from the cellar door. (For a wine awarded a gold medal at the Air NZ Wine Awards... there's a bargin for ya! )

Here's the bottle to gaze upon: http://www.tizwine.com/wineprofile$1354
