Oily, spiced and Alsace-like. Viscous, spiced dense power and a very long finish. (JH)

The 2006 Riesling Smaragd Hochrain smells beautifully of fresh lemon and lime, pungent hedge flowers and herbs. As so often, this wine has a clarity and class all its own. Citrus, yellow plum, distilled red fruits, almond extract, flowers and herbs billow across the palate, and an expansive, juicy finish offers both more sheer refreshment and more intriguing interplay than possessed by any other wine in this collection. Enjoy this beauty anytime over the coming decade. Importer: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700
