Without going into a tirade on TDN in young Rieslings, I’ll just start off by saying that this was decent and showed good typicity as an Australasian Riesling. Aromas of petrol, lime cordial, lemon, and musk. Salted limes, pepper, crisp acidity, medium weight, and a touch of bitter fruit peel/phenolics on the palate. It’s got nice energy, but the petrol kills it for me.
