Weingut Leo Alzinger Durnsteiner Hollerin Riesling Smaragd, Wachau, Austria 2020 Louis Barruol sheer determination and textural fortitudeWho says dry riesling is always tart? The effusive grapefruit and peachy nose, with hints of sesame and hibiscus, remains cool and subtle. Hard to resist this as it pulls you into the juicy and bright palate which feels a bit lighter than it actually is. Long, rather zesty finish with delicate minerality that makes you want more. Drink or hold. 93 Pts James Suckling
