Super elegant
Lots of flesh, evolution, complexity
From ripe apricot to ginger, cardamom, aniseed, tea leaves, lemongrass, cumin, various herbs and more
Very charming and reassuring sip
I love this old whites that are whispering not screaming at you
I'd say at peak though

Loibner Loibenberg Smaragd Riesling 2001

This wine is so intense in its youth but with age has both mellowed out and developed a layered complexity and expansiveness on the palate. I’d give a slight nod to the Prager Klaus from the same year but this is among the greatest Austrian Rieslings I’ve tasted — 7 years ago

Napa Valley Blonde Tawny 2007

Lovely. A bit of light fruit with the complex nut tones in the middle and late. Vanilla, walnut and pecan. Balanced and well thought out.

This pet has a great dessertif aspect to it, with actual alcohol, rather than just sweet ruby port notes. Delicious and a great pairing port. — 9 years ago

A bit of a surprise. This was a wine we bought on our California trip in 2013. Prager is mostly known for port, and it can be quite expensive, so we opted for this Petite Sirah, even though we didn't get to taste it. I was expecting a more extracted, jammy wine, but was met instead with something more structured and substantial. The nose is showing its 10 years in the bottle a little with some cigar box, and maybe a little fresh paint. Definitely still a surprising amount of tannins present as well as some black pepper. TL;DR This was a better than expected wine.

Best domestic Grüner I've ever had. Lots of green, ripe citrus and orchard fruits, lees influence, and varietal savories (lentil, radish, parsnip, pea purée). 12.7% alcohol puts this in ripe, clean federspiel territory. Similar to Prager or FX in style. There's something special in the Columbia Gorge, I think. Anyone know if this is loess over decomposed basalt in the vineyard? — 10 years ago

I don't know the soil composition, but e-mail the Mantones via their website. They are among the most accommodating people you come across & would be thrilled to answer questions. Their entire lineup of wines is worth checking out. Agree in full about the magic of the Columbia Gorge.

Weissenkirchener Ried Achleiten Smaragd Riesling 1997

Wow, this shows the extreme difference between botrytis infected👎(inflected) 👎wines and non. Last night, 97 knoll, Gruner Smargd. Tonight, 97 Prager Riesling Smargd ( non botrytis inflected/ infected)
What a frickin delish non infected wine. Prager; absolutely gorgeous after 18 years! Bright yellow with incredible depth of fruit while still having amazing acidity at this age. The Knoll , While drinkable, was past its prime.

Steinriegl Smaragd Grüner Veltliner 1992

Gold. Slight spritz. Striking ripe fruit aroma: grapefruit, marmalade, pineapple, peach. Orange blossom oil, touch of sulfur. Likely a little botrytis. Balanced palate at 13%, medium plus bitter, low acid. Medium finish. Note of well-integrated oxidation. — 7 years ago

Mature aromas of baked apples and pears. Switches quickly in the mouth from fruit to taking on a long mineral finish. A very complete wine that is showing zero alcohol at this stage of life. — 9 years ago
