Rudi Pichler Riesling Smaragd Hochrain (750ML)

From Wachau

Vintage:	2022
Description:	97 JS / 96 Vm / 94 Ws. This dry riesling beauty is complex, but also so delicious. Ripe through and through, this medium- to full-bodied wine is very concentrated with a staggering freshness that literally takes your breath away. The wet stone minerality builds and builds at the spectacular finish that is also very juicy. Drink or hold.-James Suckling. The 2022 Riesling Hochrain Smaragd sports a smoother, gentler vibe. Despite its linearity, there is a guiding light of stone fruit juiciness. It is slightly more generous and more emollient in style, but it shows great precision. Taut, juicy and bright, it evokes greengage framed by lemon. (Bone-dry) -- Anne Krebiehl Mw, Vinous Media. This complex, broad white simmers with smoke, warm lentil and fleshy apricot flavors underscored by a powerful mineral bedrock. Chalky and rich in feel, offering dried thyme, sage and celery seed on the salty, leesy palate. Shows power and structural integrity, with singed orange peel acidity driving the energetic, long finish. Drink now through 2035.-Kristen Bieler, Wine Spectator
