November 20, 2020 - I enjoy a lot, but not quite as much as some others as lacks some of the electric acidity I look for in Austrian Riesling. A little more peachy-apply than citric, rounded mouthfeel with good fruit and terrific length. Shows a touch of fresh herbs too. Fully in the zone. 91-92 pts.

November 14, 2020 - I've been on a Austrian kick for a while now and Nigl has risen to the top of the heap for me and this was no exception. Peachy, lemony, herbal nose. Palate is sweetly fruited with a real rocky salinity that gives nice texture and definition to it all. Brilliant stuff at maturity now.

April 27, 2018 - Utterly spellbinding showing for this wine, which seems to be at its peak. Crisp, mature apples and pears, minerals and a bucket-load of refreshing saline acidity. So balanced and so drinkable. A delight for those who crave rocks in their glass of Riesling.

October 2, 2017 - Mostly 1994 Cal Cabs (Treva, West Hatrford): Another wonderful showing... so much stone, saline, citrus, rainwater and chalk. So much lip-pursing acidity... Not sure how long this will live, but I would not be afraid to continue to cellar this... although it's delicious now. UPDATE: On day two, I was better able to look at the color, which seemed a bit darker than I remember. The flavors seemed a bit more evolved and dried out. Perhaps not one to hold for the long term?
