Blinded this wine with some friends... The color was not a good indicator of the age but the slightly oxidized flavors indicated it had been around for awhile... Good wine.

A living Riesling of a storied house of age old Biodynamic principles, Nikolaihof is to the Wachau of Österreich what Nicolas Joly is to Savennières of France, pure, mercurial in its textures and tension and protean in its white blossom, fresh apricots and dry honeycomb. 2008 marks another marvelous vintage. A wine you want to kiss on the lips.

A bit too young. Textural akin to Chablis. Needs time.

2010 a cold vintage, bringing a great wine and intense Riesling, Steiner Hund is one of the best place for great Riesling, pure and direct wine very precise with floral notes, rich and nice texture it evolves in a brilliant way - a great wine by one of the star of biodynamics

Such a beautiful wine at 10 years old, balancing the fruity and savory like a champ. Thanks for sharing Paul!

This wine is absolutely smokin'. I bought 6 bottles two years ago and it's now emerging toward a long life of pleasure.
