This is listed here as a riesling but it's actually a gruner veltliner, 2003 vintage, one of the rare times they did this if not the only. I would say nobody would be able to peg this as a 2003 but I gave a blind pour to Peter Weygandt and he nailed it. Regardless, it's luminously bright and bracing, textured like rough gothic stone with sharp angles and spires. With air the fruit gets fuller and fleshier, taking on more primary pear-like and banana flavors and clean aloe cream scents. — 11 years ago

Electric gruner. So vibrant and sharply cutting it's almost rieslingesque, with the gruner character showing not so much in its tone or shape but rather in the whole garden of spring flora blooming around the fruit. So evocative I feel like I need to go on a bender of bullshit tasting note descriptors to do justice to all the outdoorsy freshness here. Hibiscus! Water lillies! Lilacs! I don't know if I have ever smelled these things but I am going with them anyway because they're euphonious enough and the imagery sounds right. — 11 years ago

Petrol, mineral, golden fruit, note of botrytis. Good acid. Still fresh. Spicy, peppery. Note as baroque as some vintages. — 12 years ago

This is in a great place right now, paying dividends for its 7 years in the cellar. It's fashionable to criticize this vintage and complain it's cracking up, but whatever those people are tasting, there's no sign of it whatsoever here. This is still young and crackling with chiseled acidity, the fruit complexion somewhat deepened in tone but still florescent. It combines flavors of pears and more luscious tropical fruits like bananas with a pleasantly bitter, peppery edge. — 11 years ago

2011 vintage. Light golden hue. Mineral, chalky, peaches and stone fruits to the fore. Quite ripe. On the palate, dry (probably more than 4g of residual but acidity masks the sugar), medium plus body,high alcohol, high extract, long and persistent finish and huge refreshing, tangy acidity, especially on the finish. Peaches and apricots, lemon zest from the acidity, crisp and long textured wine with real weight. Love it. More similar to an Alsatian Riesling than a Mosel/Rheingau Riesling, and although weighty, no noticeable TDN notes or lime juice zest of a High Eden or Clare Valley Aussie Riesling. — 11 years ago
