Purchased from First Choice, a 12 year old Riesling. Who knows where they would have sourced this. The label boasts as being one of the original stelvin caps. Upon opening, the frog sympathiser commented how fresh it seemed so the closure must have done its job.
Lovely golden colour. Subdued nose, some honey, a small amount of kero coming through. The palate seemed flat to me, in decline perhaps. For a 12 yo wine though, it has still held up quite well but for 30AUD, I wouldn't venture here again. I didn't get enough of those aged charcteristics I was hoping for. Perhaps it was not an exuberant wine to start with. My score 80 (good).
