Parker May 2024
93 The 2022 Ried Achleiten Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Stockkultur offers an elegant, spicy, concentrated and complex nose. Powerful, dense and elegant on the palate, it has a firm and gripping finish, but it's (still) rather brittle in the aftertaste. The wine is salty and distinctive but does not yet hint at the class of recent years and seems somewhat haggard today. Tasted at Schloss Dürnstein, Wachau, in September 2023.
