STAGARD RIESLING STEINER BRAUNSDORFER 2015

92-93 Points - David Schildknecht - Vinous - “From the eight terraces high above Stein that form the Stagårds' “Braunsdorfer Clos,” this delivers a seductive nose of ripe pear, lime, basil and lemongrass, leading to a vibrant, infectiously juicy and (even at around 13 percent alcohol) buoyant midpalate that is lusciously fruited and coolingly herbal. Hints of pear seed, raw hazelnut and crushed stone lend counterpoint to a long, refreshing finish whose subtle salinity activates the salivary glands.”
