Honeyed tea, spices, and mint leaves make up the nose of the exceptional 1997 Riesling Smaragd Durnsteiner Ried Schutt. This wine has great breadth, power, and depth to its medium-bodied personality. Eucalyptus leaves, fennel, raspberries, and pears make up its complex, elegant core. It is defined yet muscular, plump yet detailed. Drink this show-stopper over the next 15-17 years. 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.
