9 Sep 2022 ? Enticing and subtle nose of Yamanashi white peach wild berries and herbs. Ripe but also seriously concentrated and elegant this has deep minerality at the very long and focused finish. This is built for the long term but is already really delicious. Drink or hold.
jsPrager?s 2021 Ried Klaus Riesling Smaragd is pure yet very intense on the nose with a bright yet concentrated fruit aroma. On the palate this is a rich and powerful very dense and almost massive Riesling with some Veltliner features in terms of texture. Though slightly bitter the finish is savory pure and saline and encountered by rich and concentrated fruit. This is a massive but promising wine that will perform much better from a bigger glass. Tasted at Schloss Dürnstein Wachau in September 2022. Published: Dec 08 2022
