WTN: Alzingers well that ends well

by David M. Bueker » Sat Jan 28, 2023 8:34 pm

2013 Alzinger Riesling Smaragd Steinertal - Austria, Niederösterreich, Wachau (1/28/2023)
A bottle three years ago was all about structure. This bottle has reclaimed its fruit, opening up after several years of slumber, emerging from a cocoon to be more beautiful than it was before it shut down. It was clear immediately after the bottle was opened, as the first sip was brilliant: peach, stone, lemon cream and tarragon, all served up on a platter of Himalayan rock salt. Rich on the palate, but completely dry, the depth of flavor was a weighted blanket, comforting and serene.

I am trying to make a conscious effort to buy and drink more Austrian Riesling (and GV). I always love it.
