2007 Framingham Dry Riesling

2019-02-02T08:57:26Z

96 points - Pale to medium colour with toasty aged nose. Palate has strong lemon acidity and amazing freshness for a 12 year old wine. Great depth and length of flavour - really delicious. Could live for a few more years yet.

2006 Framingham Dry Riesling

94 points - Toasty, moreish and delicious. New Zealand's premier riesling producer focuses mostly on sweet wines, but is to be commended for cellaring its bone dry rieslings for 10 years before releasing them at peak maturity for a great value price. This is one of the great well-kept secrets of the wine world. It can be hard to find properly dry rieslings from New Zealand, but this is a cracker.

2005 Framingham Dry Riesling

2015-02-04T08:32:43Z

92 points - Medium pale gold. Some musky aged characters, a trace of that toast and nuttiness. Good concentration again. Flavour profile is quite rich with a good balance with the acidity and minerality that is clean, a touch tight and austere.

2005 Framingham Dry Riesling

85 points - Strong kerosine nose - Huon calls it toast but to me it's kerosine. Whatever it is: it doesn't appeal to me. Palate is structurally balanced and harmonious, but the kerosine just gets in the way for me. Otherwise a really good wine. Buttery toasty.

2004 Framingham Dry Riesling

2012-04-14T01:19:18Z

92 points - Med saturated yellow colour. Nose is quite dense, smoky oily lemony (chlorine), rubbery, faint buttered toast. Clearly an aged and developed nose. Age and development is also prominent on the palate, the fruit taking very much a back seat. Acidity shows too. Very full and muscular mouthfeel. Toned and substantial. Finish shows similar muscularity. Hints of lemon citrus. Impressive wine. Ageing nicely.

2004 Framingham Dry Riesling

92 points - Golden Colour showing age. Lovely nose with spice-herbal-mineral mix. On the palate heavy on mineral. Racy acidity. Some faint petroleum in the background. Very intense and good palate coverage. A really enjoyable new world Riesling with some of the herbal-mineral angles found in German Rieslings. Huon is right: perfect with fish.
