Prager, Riesling, Smaragd, Klaus, 2003 (Austria)

Light yellow.

Lemon zest/flesh, spice, fresh herbs/flowers, light earth nose. But there's something deeper, sumptuous - nut/meat action- here. Really grows on you.

Deep and powerful in the mouth. Absolutely loaded, with lemon (marmalade)/herb/floral character repeating. There's a decent bit of RS, but strong acid/mineral chew more than matches it. Long, pungent, chewy finish. FK.

$40
