Beautiful green tinged, golden straw colour. Faint lime cordial aroma with lifted floral aromatics.
Entry shows little in the way of either development or any primary characteristics; yet the finish still shows a good punch of acid and some steely minerality as one expects from a wine of this pedigree.
The acid trailing a memorable finish. Would suggest minimum of 5 years ahead of this still.

Luckily they're under screwcaps... Had a very disappointing number of '96 Polish Hills fail on me... But from 2001 (screwcap) they have all been stunning.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. I didn't actually open the wine myself so I had to check it was indeed screwcap. I know that Jeff Grosset is a pioneer in driving the adoption of screwcaps, still I was a little surprised.
ReplyDeleteDo you know if the bottles are always brown?
