2019 Wachstum Bodenstein Riesling Smaragd Prager, Wachau (0,75l)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2019 Wachstum Bodenstein Riesling Smaragd, Prager

The 2019 Riesling Smaragd Wachstum Bodenstein opens with a pure, precise and enormously flinty bouquet of stewed white peach aromas and also indicates great concentration of everything—fruit and terroir. Lush, round and powerful but precise and mineral, this is a rich and concentrated, quite massive and accordingly finely tannic dry Riesling with a long, intense, firmly structured and sustainable finish that is stunningly pure, crystalline and even refined, much leaner than the mid-palate. Definitely a wine on its way. 13.5% alcohol. Tasted at the domaine in June 2021. - Stephan Reinhardt, Dez. 2021

James Suckling - 2019 Wachstum Bodenstein Riesling Smaragd, Prager

Super filigree with subtlety that’s really breathtaking. So much energy and precision and so pointed, in the best sense of that word. Samurai-sword sharpness at the finish, but in way aggressive. Drink or hold. - James Suckling, Sep. 2020
