Pichler, F.X. Loibner Steinertal Riesling Smaragd 2015 0,75 l
Wachau
91-92 The Wine Advocate: "...the 2015 Riesling Smaragd Loibner Steinertal displays a clear and aromatic, concentrated bouquet of white peaches. Full-bodied, piquant and fresh on the palate this is a rather lean and straightforward Riesling with a piquant acidity. The finish is pure and salty and reveals a very nice grip..."
95 The Wine Advocate: "...lime, grapefruit and apple tinged with piquancy of their pips buoys the salty wave of mineral matter into a profoundly protracted finish..."
90 The Wine Advocate: "...the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape retains a vibrant dark hue, but it has moved into a savory, meaty, mushroomy phase. It's still full-bodied and supple, turning silky and warm on the finish..."
93 Wine Spectator: "...grape's peach, melon and citrus flavors with beautifully integrated new-oak components of vanilla and nutmeg. Harmonious, creamy and firmly..."
94 The Wine Advocate: "...pineapple, lime, grapefruit, passion fruit, peppermint, white currant, chalk dust, and a diverse array of herbs and flowers..."
98 The Wine Advocate: "...scorched earth, black currants, plums, charcoal, cedar, and spices, the 1990 offers an aromatic explosion that is unparalleled..."
96 Wine Spectator: "...ripe fruit, spices, licorice and blackberries. Full-bodied, with lots of ripe fruit and a lovely balance of round tannins and hints of oak. Very concentrated..." 92 The Wine Advocate: "...dark ruby/purple-colored, supple-texture 1998 Costa Russi possesses sweet, jammy raspberry and cherry fruit..."
