(July 4, 2015) … My father-in-law was here last year (September 2014) and raved about the 2013 Ghost Creek Riesling as one of his favourite all time wines (now that bodes well for Ontario winemaking) … So I thought it interesting to try him out on another great Ghost Creek from years gone by in a Ghost Creek comparative tasting, starting with the 2009. The nose had a bit of petrol creeping in, but also some wonderful lemon drop and bruised apple … The palate came across much fresher than the nose let on with pear, apricot, peach, and acidity that still holds up its end of the bargain on a long finish – there was even a soft and supple note from entry to mid-palate that made you feel you could squeeze your cheeks for more flavours and there’s still a good mineral sensation. In my opinion a very good representation of nicely aged Niagara Riesling. My father-in-law still preferred the 2013 (see the full review here).
