Finishing up the Wachau Rieslings, here including a couple of non-2021 wines.
EDER WACHAU
2020 (Mautern) Silberbichl Riesling Smaragd
Medium-light, good penetration to lemony fruit. Good length. Give it a few years. 92/A
Georg FISCHENGRUBER
2021 (Rosatz) Kimberg Riesling Smaragd
Lemon drop mouth, medium-light in weight, good concentration, depth. 92/A
Josef FISCHER
2021 (Rosatz) Kimberg Riesling Smaragd
Lemony, medium-weight, citric. 91/A-
2021 (Rosatz) Kreuzberg Riesling Smaragd
Good acidic attack with medium-weight, citric fruit, medium-light, good energy, drive. 93/A
NIKOLAIHOF
2017 (Mautern) Vom Stein Riesling Smaragd
Disappointingly soft and unfocused. I don’t know what happened here — Nikolaihof is one of my favorite producers in the whole world. Perhaps a bad sample? 86/D
SIGL
2021 (Rosatz) Kimberg Riesling Smaragd
Lemon, moderate acidity, medium-weight-plus. 90/B+
