The Smaragd 2004 Riesling Achleiten displays flowers, salt, and citrus in the nose. The medium-bodied but rich and expansive palate is possessed of lemony brightness, along with notes of nut oils, iodine, soy, sea salt and crushed stones. The overall impression here is of deep, rolling waves of fruit capped with bright citrus and packed with fruit, nut and mineral matter. I could taste the tide crashing in the finish a minute or more later. Importer: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700
