This is the *Dry* Riesling 2002 and at 23 years it’s still very good. Mature for sure but with its faculties intact. There’s a pretty big buzz about Finger Lakes Riesling these days but excellent wines were made there way back then and earlier as well.

Pear with beautiful light color. Some minerality on the finish but also some bitterness / tannins. Missing the crisp acidity on the finish. Some vegetal. Maybe I am missing it or 2017 was a bad year. Now ice wine from Sheldrake and we are talking but this misses the mark.

My first Finger Lakes Riesling and I’m super impressed. Plush tree fruit and sweet citrus with some steely minerality. Juicy med+ acid balanced with a touch of RS make this quite quaffable.
