From Wachau

| Description: | 97 JS / 97 We / 95 Wa. Enticing and subtle nose of Yamanashi white peach, wild berries and herbs. Ripe, but also seriously concentrated and elegant, this has deep minerality at the very long and focused finish. This is built for the long term, but is already really delicious. Drink or hold.-James Suckling. This is the absolute showstopper for a classic Riesling. It is a very expressive, medium-bodied version, with lots of flesh, offset by mouthwatering acidity that gives this ample energy and drive. Notes of elderflower, jasmine, yellow plum and kumquat impart charm on the midpalate, while hints of cardamom and orange blossom linger on the long finish."– (Cellar Selection)-Wine Enthusiast. Prager's 2021 Ried Klaus Riesling Smaragd is pure yet very intense on the nose, with a bright yet concentrated fruit aroma. On the palate, this is a rich and powerful, very dense and almost massive Riesling with some Veltliner features in terms of texture. Though slightly bitter, the finish is savory, pure and saline and encountered by rich and concentrated fruit. This is a massive but promising wine that will perform much better from a bigger glass. Tasted at Schloss Dürnstein, Wachau, in September 2022.-Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate |
