March 16, 2017 - A private dinner (Restaurant Atelier **, Munich, Germany): Classic Wachau style, moderate alcohol, mirabelle and white pepper, lovely balance, ripe and vinous, slightly low acidity but elegant, good length. Best served cool, as it does lack a little cut and precision.

December 5, 2016 - On the PnP, a light touch of CO2, medium straw color, not what I'd call perfectly clear (which is just fine for me). Aromas are lime sherbet, wet stones, thyme, white pepper and a whiff of petrol. Palate is medium>medium+, mouth-filling, broad. Flavors largely follow the nose, with avg>avg+ acids, a long finish (though lacking detail and complexity at this stage). Some nice tang and verve on the attack, but it wanes just a touch before it comes back on the finish - kind of like a boomerang, so all is good. Should prove a welcome companion tonight, along with a 10yr old Sagrantino, with the porchetta. 11,5% abv., thru 2022. recommended

April 30, 2016 - A bit more expressive than Schütt Federspiel. Spicy, again good fruit, mineral, fresh, longer and more intense, but still rather airy for Smaragd. A great effort for 2014. 91-93

February 3, 2016 - Flickinger Tasting at The Casino (Chicago, IL): In contrast to the Federspiel, this was much fatter and denser, had more extract, and had a slightly oily texture that really turns me off. There's a fair bit of minerality, and a hint of white peach as well, but this is a much more plodding bottle.
