Tasted beside its 2018 sibling, the extra few years of bottle have done wonders for this Pewsey Vale The Contours 10 Year Release, yet there is still a beguiling freshness and poise.
All the treasures of aged Riesling are in full cry here - toast and marmalade, rosemary sprig, dried sage, lemon rind and preserved lemons. The balance and shape are in elite order yet the acid still has life as it skips about with joyous ease. That length just keeps crawling along with a fine chalky textural presence to muse over. What a beauty!
