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. — 8 years ago

Wow, this shows the extreme difference between botrytis infected👎(inflected) 👎wines and non. Last night, 97 knoll, Gruner Smargd. Tonight, 97 Prager Riesling Smargd ( non botrytis inflected/ infected)
What a frickin delish non infected wine. Prager; absolutely gorgeous after 18 years! Bright yellow with incredible depth of fruit while still having amazing acidity at this age. The Knoll , While drinkable, was past its prime.
sign me up for Prager, Niholiahof & Alzinger (among others) — 9 years ago

Wonderful. Perfectly balanced with zippy acid and round body; tropical fruits and minerals, almost seaside. Both intense aromas and flavors, lingering all damn day in my mouth. Loves it. — 10 years ago

Honeysuckle, white peach, tarragon, pea shoots. Pale, near water white. Complex, medium body, high acidity, lengthy finish. Not overly ripe, but enough fruit to balance the varietal green character. Lovely. — 9 years ago

Exciting nose of smoke, lean and mean stone fruits, and white mushroom. Slightly lighter than the Loibenberg. Acidic verve on the palate. — 10 years ago

Had it November 2011.
Bright straw yellow. Citrus, pineapple and paw paw. White pepper, coriander and Asian spices. Earthy, tuff. Full palate with minerally notes, smokiness in evidence. Important flavour and typical I should say of a Wachau Gruner Veltliner. Super young, great potential, but already very enjoyable for the best taster. Hints of peanut butter ✌️ — 9 years ago
