Off vintage and still stunning — 8 years ago
Stunningly complex and alive, this is what I was hoping to find when opening an older bottle of Smaragd Gruner Veltliner.
The color was medium gold, no hint at all of age here.
The nose however started to put us where we were thinking, but there was still some youth. A deep and penetrating nose of golden delicious apples, yellow plums, and quince paste. The nose was so deep I wanted to jump into the glass!
The palate was exceptional, perfectly balanced with excellent density, breadth and a crazy long finish of minerals, fine acidity and subtle, juicy golden fruits.
An epic wine for me and a new benchmark for Gruner for my palate.
To add to the magic I walked the vineyard earlier in the day. — 9 years ago
