Emmerich Knoll 2011 Riesling Smaragd, Shütt, Wachau
Rating: 94
From vineyards close to the romantic ruins of Durnstein castle, this is a steely, tight, nervy wine, full of citrus fruits, taut acidity and a crisp texture. It's still very young, a wine that needs several years to really age properly.
