For me, Roman’s Block continues to be one of Ontario’s great rieslings. Now 5 years old, it’s maturing now so that classic “diesel” aroma becomes more prominent on the nose along with generous aromas of diesel, lime blossom, grapefruit and Bench minerality. On the palate I found good intensity of lime-inflected orchard fruit flavours, especially nectarine and Granny Smith apples, which surprised me as I don’t regard those as typical Bench Riesling flavours. It has maintained its bracing grippy acidity but the real pay off is that super long, limestone/mineral/”peacock tail” of a finish with hard candy appearing at the very end. Tasted June 28, 2020
