2016 Nikolaihof Riesling Federspiel Late Release, Austria, Wachau, Wine Review

This is a late release served at the winery.  It spent an extra six years in large barrels.  Silvery gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is clean with lemons, minerality and slight apricot notes.  Creamy texture but also crisp acidity.  On the palate, the lemons and slight apricot come thru with underlying minerality.  Long finish.  This wine shows a lot of complexity but undoubtedly will continue to mature for a few more years.  Drink over the next twenty years.  This is great on its own and will be even better with almost any food.  It would be great with Szechuan food.
