Leo Buring Eden Valley Riesling 1997

Another dinner, this time with my friend Mark, and managed to get the last bottle of this riesling for starters. Opened to aromas of lemon, lime, apples, honey, petroleum and some soft musky notes. On the palate it was quite rich white fruits with robust and clean acidity. Some slight powdery minerality and fizzy citrus characters. No great length on this aged wine, but the front and middle palate had enough action to make up for that. Overall quite an elegant wine, and could go a few more years in the bottle.
50+4+13+17+8 = 92/100
