Rudi Pichler Riesling Achleiten Smaragd 2016

"Scents of struck flint, gentian and strongly pit-inflected white peach waft from the glass, and the expansive, glycerol-rich palate projects a corresponding succulence of fruit, piquancy, and inner-mouth florality. Suggestions of roasted, lightly caramelized turnip and nutty lentil add depth. Poised between sweet-saline lobster-shell reduction and the mineral- and seaweed-laced savor of oyster liquor, the inexplicably buoyant finish positively milks my salivary glands." David Schildknecht
