TN: 2012 The Doctors Riesling Marlborough NZ.
SC, $26 Cdn, 8.5% alc, opened one hour.
I have featured the Doctors a few times with special mention of their GV. Their 2011 was a splendid wine and this almost equals their previous vintage. Light straw color, no real development with the age in the bottle.
Splendid nose..mineral, citrus, apple, lime tones, floral, "lemongrass" from across the table.
Initial entry thought is off-dryish, hint of some residual sugar, v good acidity, no gasolein!! Crisp refreshing, nice quality overall. Citrus, apple, apricot, not a big complex style but has appeal and a nice balance.
Day 2 saw more citrus on the finish. Will look out for further vintages.
