Weingut Johann Donabaum – Setzberg – Spitz – Riesling Smaragd 2007 – Wachau

The nose is aromatic, fine, concentrated and racy. It reveals notes of dried yellow fruits, mirabelle plums and hints of ripe citrus fruit combined with subtle hints of exotic fruit and an imperceptible hint of muesli / dried fruit. The palate is fruity, fine, well-balanced, elegant, “clean” and offers a nice fat, powerful, a fine unctuosity, a good straightness, a fine acid frame, a fine minerality, a good volume, a fine sweetness, a beautiful intensity / concentration, power as well as a fine crystalline side. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of yellow fruits, mirabelle and quince, combined with a subtle hint of exotic fruits, a very discreet hint of ripe lemon as well as subtle hints of beeswax, crystalline minerality and of dried fruits. Good length and good persistence. The finish is slighlty powerful.
