Very thankful to have a German roommate to remind me there are Riesling from outside of Central Otago. It's a great palate check.

Delicate nose with sweet/confectionery lemon juice and zest, white flowers, light herbal/minty/dandelion, and mineral verve with very faint petrol. Just off-dry with great balance of acid/sugar. Fresh and bigger in the mouth than I expected. Good finish. — 10 years ago

Wifey went to see the rents for the weekend. I was left with no choice, but to hunt and provide for myself. Cooked a beef bolognese with jacket potatoes. Paired with a brilliant bottle of juice, gifted by @David L. Having just submitted a major stats assignment, I'm getting back to honing my mortal kombat skills 🙂
From the nose, it's immediately apparent that this is not your typical, extravagant cab. It's much more restrained, tilting more toward a Bdx, than Napa. Aromatics offer up notes of coffee, black tea and kirsch. The palette is perfectly proportioned with black cherries, a hint of licorice and herbs. The ensemble is completed with with plush tannins, poise, balance and grace. It doesn't require food, but it shows great flexibility with it. No hurry to drink this. It has another 7 years of runway ahead of it. 14.7 abv.
