Mitchell McNicol Riesling Clare Valley 2015

Pale gold with flecks of green. There’s lifted complexity straight out of the gates here, with aromas of ripe lime, ripe green apple, poached pear, buttered toast, grilled nuts, kerosene, faint honeysuckle and a whisper of nectarine skin. Excellent full bodied texture and drive through the palate. Honey, toast, preserved lemon, lemon butter and grilled peach burst through the mouth within a pillow texture before pithy acidity and bitter toasty phenolics pull it linear through a long finish. A toasty mouth perfume permeates the palate. There’s loads of concentration, body and complexity here, with the structure to carry it. A powerful wine.
