Beautiful bubbles. Salted pears and lemon zest with great structure and tiny bubbles. Great persistence and palate presence and just shy of champagne depth. Well done, Rudi! — 8 years ago

Reinhold Haart

Goldtröpfchen Spätlese Riesling 2011

Wine-guy lemonade!

This bottle is true to form. Bright with lingering acidity & slight effervescence, yet rounded with developing honeyed orange, candied apricot, and sharp green pear notes. Was curious on how 2011's were coming along so I pulled the cork. Recommended one serving per bottle.

Prager

Achleiten Stockkultur Smaragd Grüner Veltliner 2015

Prager Gruner Veltliner Smaragd Achleiten "Stockkultur" 2015
Ironically the Bodensteins were in NYC while we were in the Wachau so we did not get to meet them or taste the 2015s. Prager has a knack for very balanced and precise wines deeply reflective of the best expressions of terroir in the Wachau. I was stoked to see this on the shelf tonight and had to open it.
"Stockkultur" means single stalk planting, exactly like you would see in the Northern Rhone. It's rare to see this kind of vine style in the Wachau, but was more common years ago. It's then no surprise to learn the 1 acre le dieu was planted in 1938 within the Achleiten vineyard.
We have an exceptional Gruner here, one of the best of the trip and rivaling Hochrain and Achleiten from Rudi Pichler.
A light to medium gold color. The nose was coiled tight revealing lime, green apple and stoney minerality.
The palate was more open, the juicy green apple and lime worked perfectly with the mouth watering acids that seemed well integrated. Medium bodied but so much density and dry extract. The finish was juicy as well, with purity, density and very good length.

Echezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir

Magnum of Jayer-Gilles showing beautifully. Continued to open up over the course of the evening. Incredibly balanced and deep. Going on 27 years young, it's right in the window. Practicing our Rudi skills - two shakes of the pen transformed this from 1988 to 1888! — 9 years ago
