While I believe most Australian Rieslings should be drunk in their delicate, refreshing, youthful stage, the 2001 Riesling Contours makes a mockery of such advice. This nearly six-year-old beauty exhibits classic Alsatian characteristics of petroleum, buttery apples, currants, licorice, and rose petals. Exhibiting a real terroir character, medium body, and a long, dry finish, it should keep for 1-2 more years. Importer: Negociants USA, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 259-0993
