Tim Adams 'Foxlee' Clare Valley Single Vineyard Riesling 2013

I didn't take a picture of the bottle, but [here's one for your reference.](http://static.wine-searcher.net/images/labels/03/84/tim-adams-foxlee-single-vineyard-riesling-clare-valley-australia-10560384.jpg)

Just quick notes because I'm doing this from memory, but I had to share because this Riesling changed my perception of sweeter, floral Rieslings.

Colour: Medium gold

Aroma: Honeysuckle, hibiscus, nectarine. Floral notes just out of control. I groaned: I love dry Riesling and thought I was to be disappointed.

Palate: Lime and minerality. Hints of cold stonefruit - nectarine, white peach - but I kept coming back to the citrus. It was like a sharp knife paring the cloying floral aromas back like skin from an orange.

Finish: Loooong. Falling from a steely lime, through green apple to green apple skin, finally finishing with a hint of grape skin - something I'm not usually a fan of, but observing this plantiness resolve out of flowers and limes was a great pleasure.

The nose completely belied the palate. It was like the aromas of a totally different wine. I would recommend this to people who like dry Rieslings as well as the floral fiends.

Suggested pairing: Delicate, balanced thai dishes with lots of chilli.

Our pairing: a fat spliff (itself fruity and floral).
