Riesling Smaragd Ried Steinertal FX Pichler 2017 (750ML)

94 Points, Stephan Reinhardt, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2017 Ried Steinertal Riesling Smaragd is intense and flinty on the dark and stony, very flinty and coolish nose with its concentrated white peach and lime aromas. Full-bodied, sharp, super pure and mineral on the palate, this is a full-bodied, tight, fresh and serious wine with a long and tensioned but still terribly young finish. Great complexity and tension! One of the finest Rieslings from the Danube River in 2017. Tasted in Oberloiben/Wachau, September 2018." 12/18

96 Points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com: "Very cool and crystalline with a ton of white peaches and citrusy acidity driving the long, radically mineral finish. Long aging potential. Drink or hold." 10/18
