Lovely Austrian Riesling. The Smaragd designation born out with a full bodied wine with 13.5% alcohol. Stone fruit flavors of peach and then wet stone. This can go for a good bit longer and might get better. Great acidity masked by the fruit. A touch of sweetness but maybe that's the big fruit load.

drinking well...deep yellow color and initially fairly tart/acidic that opens and broadens with air. Wine never becomes what I would call sweet and is well balanced. I thought it paired very well with rich Thai food that had a good deal of coconut. Not sure I would buy again but definitely enjoyed the wine

Dunkles, sehr intensives Goldgelb. Gleich nach dem Öffen sehr säurelastig, scharf. Nach einer Stunde an der Lift ein deutlich anders Bild. Gelbfruchtig in der Nase, Marille, Pfirsich, Ringlotten, würzig. Am Gaumen tragende Säure, aber nicht mehr so scharf/kantig wie zu Beginn. Wieder gelbe Fruchtaromen, vor allem Pfirsich. Glockenklar. Ein Traum von einem Riesling!

Not a great bottle
Pretty advanced with deep yellow as before but fruit sweetness gone and able to buffer the acidity
Too bad

Very good bottle with cut and good fruit and nothing viscous here or pronounced sweetness.
Very nice
