Unreal. Liquid stone in the mouth. Austrian Riesling rarely moves me but this one is the exception.

Greenish silver in color
Lime notes, green apple, hints of petrol and sage
Fresh, effervescent, bright, aggressive acidity. Tastes like the nose. High degree of minerality. Medium++ finish. EXCELLENT wine with many years ahead of it.
Smoked a La Aurora Cameroon

Another year, another great Steinertal. A touch softer and rounder on the palate than usual; it doesn't have the intense cut of some recent vintages but it's still amazingly complex with layers of herbs, florality, and mineral notes that gradually emerge and build around a core of fresh citrus and pear fruit. These should age beautifully.
