Be prepared to be amazed. Enormously ripe, but also remarkably fine on the nose. Then comes a tidal wave of succulent and enticing exotic fruit on the palate, the acidity acting as an exact counterpoint to all this decadence. Then, the powerful finish delivers the mortal blow. Drink or hold.
The 2017 Ried Loibenberg Riesling Smaragd is intensely fruity on the nose, offering ripe and lush yellow stone-fruit aromas intermixed with discreet flinty aromas from crushed stones. Full-bodied, lush and powerful on the palate but with a remarkable piquancy and structure, this is a very intense but mighty Riesling that needs time. The finish is very long and minerally. Tasted in Oberloiben/Wachau, September 2018.
