From one of the steepest, stoniest portions of this vineyard – which the Stadt Krems was able to rent – their 2007 Riesling Kogl Reserve smells alluringly of linden flower, peach, and fresh lemon; displays an admirable elegance and delicacy with intensity of flavor and saline, stony nuances; and finishes long on smoke, salinity, crushed stone, and bitter-sweet peach and peach kernel. Now that we have this wine to supplement experiences with those of the Undhof, a picture of the Kogl as a great vineyard emerges. Follow this beauty for at least 4-5 years if possible to fill in more of that picture. Fritz Miesbauer and the winery of the city of Krems are going from strength to strength. Miesbauer had already recovered from a couple of hair-graying nights when I saw him for the second time last year in late June.Importer: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700
