Saint Clair Riesling 2002, Marlborough.
Colour:
light greenish yellow.
Nose:
fresh, juicy fruity, some nuances of apricots, green apples, some minerals,
some "firne", spices and a touch of liquorice. Clean, ripe and fresh.
Taste:
fresh, quite full-bodied for a Riesling, piquant acidity and a small touch
of sweetness to balance it nicely, nuances of fruit, minerals and some
spices, clean and very refreshing Riesling, tastes as a friendly, dry wine.
Finish:
quite long, with good fruit, some spicy nuances, fresh acidity and a well
balanced tiny touch of sweetness. Very well done.
* Very good and easy approachable Riesling in a fruity style. Beginning to acquire a more mature style regarding the light touch of petrol (firne) already present. Not a very deep or complex wine, but a very refreshing and satisfying wine that provides a good dose of pleasure.
- Should be drunk now, will change with age into a more spicy and earthy wine with less fruit, less easy to appreciate for most people, drink before 2006.
- Recommended wine, easy, refreshing and fruity, well balanced, offers attractive freshness without the dryness of many other wines.
