Poppies
Martinborough Estate - Late Harvest Riesling 2024 750ml
Sam Kim: Wine Orbit
96/100 - 5 Stars
This is supremely fine and delicate, yet concentrated with discreet power; the elegantly lifted bouquet shows lemon pith, nectarine, green tea, and kaffir lime notes with a hint of jasmine.
The wonderfully structured palate displays fine flow and refined texture, gorgeously complemented by enticing sweetness backed by lively acidity, finishing sleek and persistent.
Captivating with scintillating clarity and harmony, ensuring its graceful development.
At its best: 2027 to 2039.
Imagine the power and the concentration required of the wire walker, having to create the absolute perfect tension in the wire to ensure the perfect balance can be achieved. As the walk proceeds; the walker cannot be heavy in stature but must be intensely structured, not visually, but there should be an underlying calming persona with the zest to live and without the arrogance to hinder success.
Late Harvest Riesling should always exhibit these strengths, immense underlying power with balance and poise. Fresh and vibrant, assertive and zesty with confidence, this wine carries flavour more than sweetness and acid to be precise. Long-lived only when the balance is achieved.
