Pikes Dry Riesling 2006 --James Halliday 94, Tanzer 90+ 750ml



$19.99
0 available
Not currently in stock.

"A clean, floral bouquet; supple, smooth and flavoursome citrus and lime fruit; gentle acidity on a long finish. 12º alc. Rating 94 Drink 2016" 94 pts, James Halliday, tasted Oct 06.

"Racy lemon and orange scents are brightened by dusty minerals. Ripe quince and pear on the palate, framed by juicy acidity and finishing with a spicy bite of citrus zest. This gained intensity with air, suggesting that it will reward cellaring-as usual for this bottling. 90(+?) points."  Josh Raynolds, Stephen Tanzer's IWC, Sep/Oct 07.

"The 2006 Dry Riesling is medium straw in color with an attractive perfume of mineral, grapefruit, and lemon-lime. Dry on the palate, intensely flavored, and a bit austere in personality, the wine is well-balanced and long. It can be enjoyed over the next 1-2 years but should evolve for a decade in the manner of a top German Riesling."  Jay Miller, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Oct. 2007.

"Dry and savory, with a broad range of tangerine, floral and vaguely apricoty flavors, lingering on the gentle finish. Drink now through 2016. 1,800 cases imported. –HS"  The Wine Spectator, Nov. 30, 2007.
