2018 Riesling. Oleg Repin
Sevastopol,
Russia,
11.5 - 13.5% vol., 3 765
Grape variety: Riesling
This wine is deep straw-yellow in colour. A somewhat varietally-pure but also rapidly ageing nose of medium plus intensity with aromas of pineapple, dried apricots, hay, honey and a curious, slightly unclean scent of wet fur. The medium-bodied palate is slightly out of balance with the high acidity not supported by sufficient fruit, resulting in a shortish finish. Ready for drinking, though already a little tired.
Country of purchase: Russia
