Bone-dry Riesling purchased from Mr Nigl himself; lean, mean kerosene-filled action hero, supreme acidity and a welcome contrast to the opulent Mosel Rieslings of similar vintage (no criticism of Mosel rieslings - I love both styles dearly and simply enjoy the contrast because it shows what radically differnt expressions that grape variety is capable of in Central Europe).

Maybe 93. Has old Familie label. Elegant and showing beautifully. Can go 5 or so more years. Order/drank at Nigl's restaurant...45 euros.
