2018 Wachau Ried Achleiten Riesling Smaragd® trocken, Lower Austria/Niederösterreich, Austria

Clear, quite polished, delicately cool-ethereal aroma with restrained, yet noble stone fruit aromas, herbs and floral tones. Ripe, warm, melting, a touch sweetish fruit, moderate, fine acidity and delicate grip, clearly dark berry flavours on the palate, persistent, lots of power and melting, lasting, spicy nuances in the background, again slightly ethereal, quite concentrated, very good, melting, juicy and spicy finish with clear minerality and again also alcohol warmth
