Thorn-Clarke Sandpiper Eden Valley Riesling 2011
Trust in Riesling to shake me from a little wine malaise.
Lemon, lemon sherbet, higher notes of citrus blossom with a loose framework of stony mineral. Some underlying tropical notes complete the aromatic picture.
Juicy, fresh, hints of apple. Feels a little looser and approachable now, than some of the tightly coiled 2011s tasted. Acid is still noticeable, but has settled from the razor-like, teeth-achingly sharp position of around a year ago.
Finishes fresh and long - citrus a consistent theme through. 90 - Good
