Still drinking extremely well. Lots of power, plenty of fresh acidity, rich fruit and secondary character in abundance. Drying up on the finish.

All Blacks vs. Lions (Auckland, NZ) : Super tropical nose - Guyabano! Like guava with papaya and floral tones. This is extremely ripe Riesling. Doesn't show prominent TDN/petrol. Medium sweet - feels around 40 g/L RS. 10% alcohol. Medium plus acid - could use a bit more. Slight bitterness on the finish. A solid value Riesling.

Front has several Gold medals and Pure Golds from Air NZ Wine show (but I rated it a Silver). Promo price $NZ 10.99 Countdown supermarket. Good solid Spatlese-style Riesling, just 10% alc. Super easy drinking quaffer, chill it well (there is no dry finish). Solid lime/lemon/white fruit flavours. Light-med body. Nothing complex but for the price is a real bargain. VFM?....worth every cent of $NZ 10.99. But it is not a Gold Medal wine!
