Pewsey Vale Riesling 2010

[Waiters Friend]

G'day

Here's the TN I did from a PV vertical tasting early last year(and posted here viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14940&p=131036&hilit=pewsey+vale+2010#p131036):

"Pewsey Vale Riesling 2010: Faint kero, lots of lemon and lemon blossom, a touch of honey and talc. The palate was richer / more intense than many of the previous wines,with good length. The wine has clearly emerged from the dumb phase."

Drinking this a year later, it's developed a little further. It's yellow gold in colour. The kero has gone, and the lemon / curd / blossom has taken over from it. The honey has not intensified, and remains a background feature, as does the talc. The palate does not reflect the high acidity that many younger rieslings show - it may be in balance with the level of developed fruit and secondary flavours inherent in the wine.

I'm enjoying this now, although I suspect there's room for further development.

Cheers
Allan

I haven't tried a lot of the 2010 but you expect at least another 5 years development. I am just starting to get into the 05s and 06s which are taking on a real depth of favour and colour. I had a 05 Leo Buring Leonay in the weekend and they are just so yummy at present.
