Tasting Notes

Elegant and pure-tasting, with pretty flavors of apple, grapefruit and peach that are accented by notes of slate and sea salt. The long, citrus-infused finish is bright yet delicate. Should develop nicely in the cellar. Drink now through 2016.

Hyacinth, lime, honey, and white peach emanate from the glass of 2007 Riesling Smaragd Wachstum Toni Bodenstein. One sip will convince you that this sappy wine of enveloping richness could only come from an exceptional site. Furthermore, your powers of imagination would have to be dead, I suspect, not to start babbling about rocks and stones, because they seem to pave the bed on which this torrent of fruits and flowers flows. Suggestions of tart blueberry skin and pungent lime zest enliven a long, rich, buoyant finish. This harbors huge phenolic intensity yet is almost soothing in its opulence; is dense, yet refreshing. Follow it wherever it leads, for at least the next 8-10 years.

Medium green-yellow. Very precise aromas of peach, papaya and lichee complicated by cool wet slate and lime zest. Elegant apricot and blackcurrant flavors are stunningly wound around a taut spine of acid. This riesling boasts superb posture! Abundant wet slate and sweet peach flavors carry impressively on the long, palate-staining finish. Outstanding potential. Drink 2010 to 2027.
