The light to medium-bodied 1999 Riesling Smaragd Loibner Ried Loibenberg reveals herbal tea and flower aromas in its beguiling aromatics. This graceful, harmonious wine is tightly wound, linear, and potent. Spices, teas, and a distinctive underpinning of minerals are found in its focused character. Drink it between 2006 and 2017. While Americans can be found knocking on the doors of Burgundian estates every day of the year, only 5-10 per year stop at Weingut Emmerich Knoll. This statistic is bound to change as Americans come to appreciate the stunning wines Austria, and this winery, produce regularly. One of Austria's finest wineries, Knoll produces ageworthy wines that are more restrained and elegant than their good friend (and competitor) F. X. Pichler.Importer: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel.
