Lemon Gold - pristine clear. Honeyed nuances with some paraffin on nose. Sweetish broadening palate with a little acidity. At its peak. First time trying a10 year old NZ Riesling. No distinguishing features much from a 10 year old Aussie Riesling. A little more Germanic perhaps. When young this wine had Rose petals on nose. Last of a dozen. Lovely wine. 2005 vintage.

"Really enjoyed this. Incredibly well balanced and subtle. Hints of green apple and pear. Crisp, but not tart."
