  I've given up trying Privat Riesling on release because it's always so tightly wound. This was one of the vintages that convinced me to approach it that way, so I remember how unyielding it was, how tied up and tough to read it seemed. Now it's a totally different story. There's still the focused mineral core, but so much has fleshed out beyond that, with beautiful floral notes, a wide range of fruit, and overall something that, while still firm and mineral-based, is a really complex and beautiful wine in a style that's relatively reserved for this level of quality in Austria. I'd say it is just entering a really good phase, and I'm glad to have a few left to check in on over the next 5-10 years.

  Has developed extremely well since 4 years ago. Stunning bottle of Riesling! Good now but will age well for many years. - 93 points

  Short note: This is minerality packed in a wine bottle, so pure, stony and mineral and herbal too, with an excellent acidity and reserved stone fruit and lime flavors. This is very tight and stony right now, but I believe it has a great future. It needs time in bottle! - 91+ points
