Weingut Emmerich Knoll Ried Schutt Smaragd Riesling 2013 (750ML)

95 WE

Yeasty funk initially plays over a whole mix of pink grapefruit, mandarin and lemon flavors. The citrus party continues on the palate, with zesty notes of citrus peel. Verve and freshness are kept only in slight check by a phenolic backbone and are driven on by the linear lemon freshness. While totally compelling now, the wine will become even more intriguing with bottle age. Drink 2015–2020. ANNE KREBIEHL MW
