2015 Familie Saahs Nikolaihof 'Baumpresse' Riesling Wachau, Austria
$135.00
The 2015 Riesling Baumpresse was pressed in the historic press operated by a single oak beam. It was bottled in 2020 and released in spring 2023. Waxiness hits the nose first, followed by dried lemon peel and zest. The palate is super-smooth, with evolution that presents an intense waxiness, almost an oiliness, propelled by lemony intensity. Glints of ripe apricot shimmer, but the palate returns to its golden mean of dried lemon peel. The contrast between rich flavor and slender palate is mind-boggling. This is earthy yet elegant, memorable and intense in its flavor, yet quiet in its delivery. The Baumpresse is gorgeous and long, closing with hints of waxy citrus. (Bone-dry)(AK)
