RS 5 g/l, TA 7 g/l. Slight oiliness on the nose. Then heady lily bouquet and (just) enough acidity. Chewy on the end. (JR)

Score 92/100 · Drink 2019-2028, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, Jun 2016
Warm and intense on the nose, ripe and concentrated white fruit aromas open the 2015 Riesling Smaragd Loibner Loibenberg, which is pure and citric on the nose and very inviting. Pure, fresh and piquant on the palate, this is rather coolish and stunningly lean and pure Loibenberg compared to the corresponding Grüner Veltliner. Lucas believes that Riesling has eventually stopped the ripening process during the vegetation period. This 2015 has grip and tension and a rather coolish character.
