Jim Barry 2007 The Florita Riesling (4* $40) Maybe I've been getting into a few too many aged (or relatively aged) Rieslings lately, but while this bottle ticked all the appropriate boxes I was comparatively underwhelmed. Definitely developed Riesling, that whiff of hydrocarbon on the nose, pronounced Clare Valley minerality, full of flavour and a very pleasant drinking experience but lacked, the Wow! factor noted when we visited the winery. But then, that’s probably my palate rather than the wine, n’est ce pas?
