2018 FX Pichler Riesling Ried Loibenberg Smaragd

(96 Points) Peach is edged with a note of tangerine on the subtle nose. The citrus lift continues on the generous palate where notions of candied orange peel come in. Zestiness tingles aromatically and shimmers with notions of Mandarin orange and tarter tangerine. All these flavors seem to emanate from an absolutely streamlined vein of concentrated, ripe citrus freshness. This is what lends drive and backbone, energy and vividness. Drink 2025–2045.
