Spitzer Singerreidel Riesling Smaragd--Vintage 2006
Wachau. Estate-bottled: Hirtzberger
In original carton
Tasting note: The Hirtzberger's 2006 Riesling Smaragd Singerriedel proved rather stubbornly closed-in, but decanting revealed ripe apricot, narcissus floral notes, and fruit pit piquancy that led to a bitter-sweet, rich palate. This Riesling is impressively concentrated and compact, with wet stone and apricot kernel dominating a long if somewhat somber finish. It will be most interesting to follow, as it may well open up over the short run and should stand up to 8-10 years in the cellar. 93 points. David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate #177, June 2008
