Tamar Ridge Devil’s Corner Riesling 2008 12.0% alcohol about $15

Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. Tasting Note : A lifted, exotic bouquet with lime and tropical fruit; the palate is generous and rich with an abundance of sweet fruit coming through on the finish. Drink [until] 2014. Score - 91. (James Halliday, on the Australian wine companion website, March 2009) And now for my review.
Tamar Ridge vineyards in moderate priced wine

At the first sips the wine had a touch of sweetness, tasting of lime, and presenting refreshing acidity. The initial pairing was with a cheeseless lasagna based on a moderately spicy salsa. This Riesling was palate cleansing with strong acidity, good length, and some sweetness. There was lime in the finish. The accompaniment was spinach pancakes with potatoes, oat bran, and garlic. And now the wine was sweeter but too acidic.
