2003 Knoll Ried Kellerberg Dursteiner Riesling Smaragd

Or 'Exploding Jesus' wine, as someone else once called the unforgettable label.

This is what I want, what I look for in Riesling. Pure, complete, balanced.

I love those Knoll labels, but then again I have a soft spot for e.g. The baroque architecture of Stadt Krems.

had my last bottle of this particular Knoll Riesling several years ago, and it was sublime. In the lineup of great Riesling sites in the Old-Hapsburg World, the Wachau Rieslings are quite distinctive.

I also love the labels, almost had a 2013 Gruner Schutt last night. Now I'm Jonesing for it.

OK, maybe I'm jumping the gun a little bit.
