Alkoomi Frankland River Riesling 2008
This example, approaching 5 years of age, shows aromas of preserved lemon, soapy-fresh character, waxy-honey and sherbet.
On the palate, bitter lemon, rind and perth. It's started its long journey toward complexity, gone are the pure flourishes of youth, still fairly coiled, a generous acidic line providing a map for that development. The finish shows mineral quality, with hints of spice and toast. It's an elegant finish, building gradually before gently falling away. 91 - Good
