Seppelt Drumborg Riesling 1997
Recently re-released from the Great Western cellar door, this Outstanding mature Riesling harbours a mature golden hue, heady honeyed aromas of spiced apricot, Granny Smith apples, a deft touch of toasty bottle development and the last vestige of musky florals. Honeyed and quite viscous in the mouth with abundant flavours of apple and limes, a distinctive spicy botrytis overtone perfectly counterbalanced by quite lively refreshing acidity that cleans up the presence of a little residual sugar. Finishes surprisingly crisp and with incredible persistence. Probably nearing its peak drinking window, I would opt for drinking this impressive wine over the next year or two. 90 points. 12.5% A/V and sealed with a cork.
