Johann Donabaum 2018 Wachauer Smaragd Limitierte Edition Grüner Veltliner (Wachau)
A notion of dried apricot plays on the still closed nose. It is on the palate that the richness of the fruit becomes apparent in a more honeyed, rounded aspect of peach and apricot. Against this stands a lovely, pithy texture, informed by yeast and pervaded by lemon oil freshness. This is concentrated, intense, rich and dry. Drink by 2045. Anne Krebiehl MW
