  Ripe peach, skin, stone and all, muskmelon rind, over ripe orange, pineapple core and dried strawberry with almond skin, wet flinty rocks, strong mint tea and wool. Big and rich with a hint of sweetness but bright acid and very lively.
  
  Really lovely now with lots left in the tank.

  Ripe tropical fruit. Still big and opulent, but a bit more settled since last tasting. A bit of alcohol continues to distract on the finish. Tasty now.

  A very rich and opulent riesling- even for a smaragd. Ripe apricots and pears. Just a hint of residual sugar on the finish.

  C'est bon, le riesling autrichien ! Plus mûr et riche que les alsaciens,mais pas de sucre résiduel pour autant... Aussi sur les agrumes, mais pas les mêmes, plus mandarine que pamplemousse. Bien.

  Slightly reductive nose of apple, pear, lemon-lime, and minerals. Dry, fruity palate with spritzy acids and a tropical, slightly metallic finish. Nice, but not a particularly great value for Riesling.
