NIKOLAIHOF Riesling Smaragd 'Vom Stein' 2012

The 2012 Vom Stein Riesling Smaragd is another simply brilliant showing from from Nikolaihof in this vintage. This immediately showed a tremendous range of characteristics as well as incredible complexity with gorgeous aromas of lime zest, Asian pear, fresh tarragon, nut oil, and fresh florals all taking shape in the glass. It delivers a remarkable creamy texture and luscious mouthfeel followed with bright acidity and a bright, crisp finish. This Riesling evolves with each second in the glass and will surely continue to gain complexity over the next 10-15 years. The 2012 is a truly remarkable wine age worthy white which will continue to provide pleasure for many years to come. (Best 2017-2035) - June, 2016 (MD)
