Familie Saahs Nikolaihof Riesling vom Stein Smaragd, Wachau, Austria 2016 Chateau Croix Cardinal Ripe cassis with mulchy forestThe 2016 Vom Stein Riesling Smaragd is perfectly ripe and concentrated on the precise, coolish and flinty nose that reveals apricot and white peach aromas. Full bodied, round and crystalline, this is a fresh, very elegant and textural Vom Stein in a linear and classic style. The finish is intense and reveals firm tannins and makes this an excellent gastronomic wine. 94 Pts Wine Advocate
