Score 94/100 · Drink 2027-2048, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, May 2024

The 2022 Ried Klaus Riesling Smaragd opens with a dense, spicy Riesling nose that is slightly overripe yet precise, with notes of raisins and grapefruit. Dense and powerful on the palate, it's very intense, spicy and tangy, with good concentration and juiciness. This is a complex, well-supplied Riesling with very good length. Tasted at Schloss Dürnstein, Wachau, in September 2023.

Weissenkirchen. Next to Achleiten and just 25 m from the Danube. Terraced slopes 44–99% with very different subsoil profiles in the upper and lower sites, with generally sandy, stony topsoils. Seductively rich aroma of lemon and apricot with a touch of orange. Big, deep, with piercing acidity to keep it in shape. A powerful, harmonious classic Smaragd. Remarkable intensity in this vintage but needs time to mesh further. (JH)
