ALZINGER Riesling Smaragd Wachau Ried Loibenberg 2018 $53 (93 points)

The pronounced acidity gives this good intensity, balanced by a creamy texture. Features notes of white chocolate, with pepper and apricot details, underscored and extended by savory minerality that leads to a lingering finish. Needs a few years for the edges to smooth. Best from 2022 through 2031.
