Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Riesling 2002
Looks quite youthful for a 4yr old; light pale gold. Lemon fruits on the nose together with early kero notes, otherwise a touch subdued. Palate could be accused of being dilutive but did open up a fraction over time with more lemon, some citrus and a touch of acid burn. Perhaps this wine is in the riesling 'hole' right now but I suspect not. That said, worth leaving for another 2 years before reassessing but recent experience with 2004 and 2005 vintages suggests this label looks best b/w 1 and 2 years.
