Prager Riesling Smaragd Achleiten 2004 (Austria)

Light yellow.

Slightly pungent citrus and white grape jelly aromas, with a spicy undercurrent.

Immediately intense in the mouth - grapefruit/lemon zest, rocks with major phenolic/mineral chew coating everything in the mouth. This must have a decent bit of residual sugar, but it gets buried in rocks. With air, citrus goes from zest to flesh in flavor (and back again).

Killer.

$40?
