Riesling Kremstal Dac Reserve Kogl 2007
Medium green-yellow. Wet slate, smoky flint, apricot and peach on the nose and in the mouth. The wine's sweet extract is harmoniously balanced by abundant minerality and lively acidity. Finishes with stone fruits laced with blossom honey. This is a very typical expression of the Kogl vineyard, with superb aging potential. Drink now through 2022. (Vin Divino, Chicago, IL)
