“Screw top, drop-top”; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2024 Dürnstein pours a pale straw color and medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart tropical fruit, lemon, a touch of petrol, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. I love the brightness and energy! This is delicious. Drink now through 2038. — 3 days ago

Spellbindingly pure and graceful. There is ripeness and intensity here (the Wachau is warm!) but not at the cost of precision and detail. There is delicate but fleshy yellow fruit, green herbs, chamomile and white pepper, and a sense of lightness that is captivating — 5 years ago

One of the better Wachau Gruner I've had, without a doubt. Complex, rich, elegant, herbal- everything Gruner should be. Lovely citrus aromas, intensely herbal flavors. There's a "brothiness" in texture, a certain kind of salinity, that I find very refreshing. At this price point I must say that it is more appealing to the GV devotees out there, but I say so reluctantly because it is a wine with great charm and wonderful fruit that I think most anyone can enjoy. — 9 years ago

Big lemon and white & yellow florals on the nose. Thicker mouthfeel for most Gruners. Big honeyed lemons, green apple, melon, ripe pineapple, minerals & chalkiness are soft and delicate with perfect acidity. Rich, round, lush, long, nice finish. — 10 years ago

Green green green but fleshy and ripe. Smell a little bit like smarties- fruity and sour but not that sweet ultimately. — 6 years ago

Actually my first ever Lauer. Cannot believe that myself..:: served blind, I started off in Rheinhessen (maybe Wittman?) but finally decided upon a GV from Alzinger in Wachau. Liked it very much but lacked Mosel tension, slate minerality and racy acidity impressive concentration. Very good wine, hoping to be something else? — 8 years ago
