Nikolaihof, Riesling Federspiel Late Bottled (Dry) 2016

"Give it some air and a wide range of candied-citrus aromas emerge. Excellent balance of lively acidity and creaminess from sur-lie maturation, enhanced by bottle age on the precisely delineated medium-bodied palate. Long, elegant finish."-James Suckling

"Evolution is immediately apparent in notes of melted candle wax, hay, citrus and gentle, ripe apple flesh. The palate is very mild, super-smooth with rich yeastiness, very fluid and quite compact. This has a soothing, balm-like quality; citrus works its way slowly through this thick buffering layer of smoothness to finally tingle with bright lemon on the finish. It is on the finish of lemon and wax, and seemingly chalk, that everything happens."-Vinous
