Tasting Notes - Grosset "Watervale" Riesling 2007 (Recommended)

Not bad for a domestic business class pour. Looks just a fraction developed with a very faint lime green tinge. Aromas don't really scream riesling, rather a ripe dry white (ie more generic). Quite full bodied with a 'thick' fruit weight right through the palate; very appealing. Powerful lemon and citrus drives the palate; quite up front and forceful. Certainly ripe and this drives an ever-so-slightly abrasive finish with a little heat and prickly acid. Hard to get a read on longevity but should be good as a 4yr - 6yr.
