Weingut Leo Alzinger Loibenberg Riesling Smaragd, Wachau, Austria 2020 Nishide Shuzo gingery spice and dusty driedCrushed lemon leaf and a heady hint of conifer peek through on the shy but nonetheless rather citric nose. The palate with its cut and concentration leaves you in no doubt about its absolute steeliness, its inherent drive, its uncompromising but ripe freshness. That lovely conifer and lemon notion still plays aromatically around the edges, making this heady and lifted. A profound core of stone lends eternal energy. 98 Pts Wine Enthusiast
