I found myself to be a big fan of the 2012 Bone Dry Riesling, and quite surprised as well ... It had bright and tart acidity that wowed, especially for a hot vintage. Now we come to the 2013 and it seems the bone dry has taken on a little palate pleasing sweetness. Nose is quite inviting with apricot, peach pit, lanolin, mac apple and green apple skin. The palate mixes Mac and Granny Smith apples, along with peach pit, and bitter melon rind giving it that dryness and on the finish. But if you were a fan of the teeth jangling acidity of the 2012, this one pulls back on the reins a little in favour of some more friendly sweetness (alas not as “Bone Dry” as it claims). On the other hand, I do recommend giving this one a few sips, as it will really begin to grow on you with each one. Price: $16.80 - Rating: *** 1/2+
