Giesen Riesling

Variety:	Riesling (14)
Producer:	Giesen
Region:	Marlborough
I tasted the 2011 vintage of this wine on 04 Aug 2012 when it was 1 year old and gave it a rating of ok.
There was a pale clear bright golden yellow colour. The bouquet was sweet fruity lime, and floral. The flavour had quite sweet lime fruit and honey, with a light citrus acidic finish. This was a sweet fruity style with light citrus balance. Recommended by Cuisine.
I tasted the 2023 vintage of this wine on 23 Oct 2023 when it was 1 year old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The colour was pale clear greenish gold. The bouquet had strong sweet grape, lime and honey. There was moderately sweet fruit, and a light citrus acid finish. This wine was a sweet fruity style with light acid balance.

Average (3.3):

Note 1: I am not really a wine expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these wines. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot of this particular wine, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2: You may not fully agree with my evaluation of these wines, as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
