Top Notes For

One of the best Austrian white wine I've tasted in years. Surprisingly rich for a Riesling, well-balanced in acidity and sweetness. Can be drunk now or hold. This wine was listed by James Suckling as #9 in the top 100 wines in 2016. Among the top 10 wines in this list, this is the only white wine. Looking forward to taste it again in some years.
