Flight 4 (1 Note)

  • 2006 Weingut Knoll Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Vinothekfüllung 87 Points

    Austria, Niederösterreich, Wachau

    Glass: Zwiesel Sensory
    Clear deep golden color. Botrytis all over. Honey and white pepper in the nose.
    On the palate the fruit was completely gone and the botrytis remained. Very weird and not very pleasant. Powerful wine, almost like a dry Sauternes without the Charme. Oily texture. Not my wine. 86-88

Flight 11 (1 Note)

  • 2017 Weingut Knoll Riesling Smaragd Vinothekfüllung Loibner 90 Points

    Austria, Niederösterreich, Wachau

    DO NOT TOUCH! REPEAT! DO NOT TOUCH! Compared to 2006 and 2007 this is lemonade with all the right components for a wonderful wine, but not yet developed. Certainly nice today, but you will miss sooo much potential. Keep it at least for a decade and try again. 90++
