Heads up / recommendation for Australian riesling lovers [RichmondGrove].
Hello,
Given the love of riesling some ppl have in here, thot I would report a recent review by Ralph Kyte-Powell in the Age newspaper here in Melbourne. He gave the Richmond Grove 2004 Riesling 5/5. At $12-14AU [probably cheaper around] he labels it "an astonishing buy". This is the entry level label. There are higher rieslings I think. Greenish, pale colour and delicate aroma that's floral and lime-accented with a tight, mineral thread. The palate is ripe, yet classically structured with intense fruit and zesty acidity in excellent balance. It should age well. Drink over 5 years plus. I've never had anything from Richmond Grove, but a friend swears by the Chardonnay with crustaceans. Mat. |
