Grosset, Polish Hill Vyd., Riesling, Clare Valley 2005

Straw/yellow.

Earth/nut, lemon/lime, apple core, "mineral" nose.

Bracing, exceedingly pure flavors of lime, lemon. Extremely intense/vibrant, with mineral, front teeth "chew" following. Apple character shows late. Blatantly "dry", although this may have some RS, as it shows some citrus flesh now, not just zest. Or is this a result of bottle-age? Built for a very long haul.

$28 Tin-lined screwcap. Grosset was one of the screwcap pioneers.
