Found January 2011
It was a great New Year's weekend for wine. First I tasted a 1997 Trius Red on New Year's Eve; then on New Year's Day I found myself face-to-face with a bottle of Cave Spring 2004 Estate Bottled Riesling. Since the calendar had switched over we could "technically" call it a bottle of 7 year old wine. The nose was petrol, green apple and peach pit with a touch of mineral stoniness. On the palate mineral and limeade went hand-in-hand with some nice biting acidity on the finish and over ripe green apple notes. The acidity softened the longer it remained open and in the glass - good thing it was not in the glass too long. Lost & Found Rating: Treasure
