One of note...

The 1999 FX Pichler Riesling Loibner Berg Smaragd, Wachau was a stunning example of Austrian Riesling... Full of oil, ripe pears, apples with a hint of stony-cheese. It was simply a cross between Robert Weil's Kiedrich Grafenberg Erstes Gewachs and Zind Humbrecht's Rangen Grand Cru Riesling... stony, full, and powerful. Could have used perhaps a touch more in the mid-palate, but overall, a very good wine.
