2023 Weissburgunder Smaragd trocken Franz Hirtzberger This is one 2018 thatSuckling 95, A wonderfully ripe and elegant dry pinot blanc with sensuous aromas of sliced pears, fine green beans and snow peas. Great creamy mouthfeel but still cool and silky, with surprising lightness of touch on the medium to full bodied palate. Long, supple finish that's deftly underlined by fine tannins. Drink or hold.
