2023 | Prager Wachstum Bodenstein Riesling Smaragd | Wachau Bot River Spice from wood aging comesIts hard to imagine how a dry riesling could be more graceful than this masterpiece of finesse and filigree. The precision of the flower and white fruit aromas is matched by the beauty of the wet stone minerality on the medium bodied palate. The almost endless finish makes you feel like youre floating on a cloud, looking down into the Danube Valley. Sustainable. Drink or hold. 98 Pts James Suckling
