Jim Barry The Lodge Hill Riesling 2012 Cellar Release
DOZEN: $507.60 or $42.30 each
Exceptionally fresh lemons and grapefruit here with super fine, mineral-flecked limes, too. So fragrant and pure. The palate has the same striking array of lemons, limes and grapefruit and delivers a very long, glossy and fresh impression. Still tingling with acidity and so, so balanced. (97) NICK STOCK, jamessuckling.com (tasted 2020)
It's spicy and a little sweaty/earthy, but looking through the mist of a young wine there's a core of intense acidity, a chalky phenolic texture and large scale sweet fruit power - almost tropical in flavour, though with some more traditional citrus tang. Plenty to hang on to here, with more to come. Kerpow. (95+) GARY WALSH, The Wine Front
An aged release exuding honeysuckle, tangerine, lemon curd and lime/ginger marmalade on the first whiff. '12 is an ample, forward year by the take on this and its Florita brethren. Plenty of flavour and push across the gums; less glide down the throat. Imminently pleasurable, with a cooler aura about it than the Florita, presumably due to altitude (480m). No need to wait on this. NED GOODWIN MW, James Halliday's Wine Companion
