Score 92-93/100 · Drink 2017-2028, David Schildknecht, Vinous, Feb 2017

The most multidimensional of its vintage’s Knoll Rieslings, this combines the focus, brightness, extract-richness and animation of the corresponding Pfaffenberg Selektion with extra measures of textural silkiness and depth of fruit. Succulent white peach is complemented by juiciness of fresh lime and piquancy of hazelnut and peach kernel, along with a fascinating range of marine mineral nuances. The finish is forceful and saliva-inducing, full of intrigue, yet never abandons vintage-typical fruitiness or forgets Riesling’s obligation to refresh.

The 2015 Dürnsteiner Riesling Ried Schütt Smaragd offers a super ripe and intense, herbal-flavored bouquet of ripe golden delicious apples. Full-bodied, elegant and fresh this a powerful and pretty rich Riesling with grip and tension, but it lacks the coolish character of the Kellerberg or even the Steinertal.
