James Suckling
Review Date: 09/2024The most amazing thing about this very concentrated, full-bodied dry riesling is the tingling freshness that lifts the very long finish. That’s extraordinary when you consider the ripe mangosteen fruit on the nose and at the front of the palate. And the enormous density of the midpalate. Great aging potential. Drink or hold.

The 2023 Riesling Loibner Vinothekfüllung Smaragd is from the ripest grapes in Knoll's single-site Rieslings, made to keep the single sites' tension and typicity. Gentle and succulent mandarin and clementine notes are hinted at on the nose. That immense juiciness and fluidity inform the palate without showing opulence, overripeness or heaviness. This joyful, ripe Riesling will gain with age as a core of freshness adds lovely balance. (Bone-dry)(AK)
Notes
98pts Fallstaff Magazine: "Medium golden yellow, silver reflections. Ripe yellow tropical fruit, a hint of pineapple, floral nuances, hints of kumquat, mineral touch, multi-faceted bouquet, fine blossom honey. Full-bodied, elegant, white tropical fruit, integrated fruit, fine minerality, still shows some baby fat, great ageing potential.-Peter Moser"(06/2025)
