Score 95/100 · Drink 2005-2018, Pierre Rovani, Jun 2002

The flower and liquid stone-scented 2000 Riesling Smaragd Achleiten is a feminine, focused, and refined wine. Its pure, laser-like personality is medium-bodied and displays complex waves of candied citrus zests, red currants, and minerals. This immensely long wine should be at its best between 2005 and 2018+. Importer: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700

Harvested the same day as the Klaus, November 18, this comes on strong, almost stinky, with aromas of lemon oil, musk and daffodils. The palate is very glossy in texture and loaded with sweetly suggestive inner-mouth esters. The finish is forceful, but lacks quite the clarity and distinctive minerality exhibited by this year's Prager gruner veltliner from Achleiten. Potential 1 star.
