Grosset, Watervale, Riesling, Clare Valley 2004

Very light yellow.

Lime/lemon flesh, petrol, nutskin aromatics. "Fleshy" for a Grosset.

If dry Riesling has a sensual side, this is it. Racy, but expressive/slightly bodacious. Lingering citrus/mineral chew continues to pound the salivary glands through a seemingly endless, piercing, finish.

$25. Stupid value. Tin-lined screwcap.
