| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.9 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 10 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Villon on 10/17/2020 & rated 94 points: Beaucoup de matière, de concentration et de longueur. Wow de mon côté. 93-94 (922 views) | | | Tasted by Mazy on 8/14/2019 & rated 91 points: Beaucoup d'équilibre malgré sa jeunesse. La tension est bien dosée, non dérangeante. Les fruits semblent mûrs, les arômes caressants. Aucune lourdeur. Tellement de plaisir en l'état que je pense qu'il serait difficile à patienter pour l'ouvrir.

(1875 views) | | | Tasted by Omar Khayyam on 11/12/2016 & rated 83 points: Very spritzy first night, indicating this needs air and preferably time. Lovely aromatic nose. Leesy body with some richness from fruit, oak (?), and alcohol, this is not a light refreshing Riesling but more dense fruit, a little heavy, detergent spicy, rather clumsy white wine that hopefully will match well with a lot of food in say a couple of years. Maybe Alsace style chocroute. Or some spicy Asian grilled fish dish. (edit: drank this too soon certainly and the rating, as always, reflects the here and now, rather than mere potential). (2124 views) | | | Tasted by phil the agony on 10/26/2016 & rated 90 points: Vraiment très intense en bouche lui aussi.Je l'ai trouvé moins bavard que le 2012.
Profil aromatique semblable.Semble avoir été le préféré de plusieurs pour cette vague.
À revoir dans 3-5 ans.

| Pichler-Krutzler"You may have felt that there were enough Pichlers to keep track of in the Wachau (the two estates regularly reviewed in these pages not being the only ones), but now there is another that will bear regular watching. F.X. Pichler’s daughter Elisabeth and her husband Erich Krutzler (whose brother continues to run their family’s winery in Sudburgenland, and who is involved in projects in Slovenia) have begun a domaine, to whose small acreage they are for now adding contract fruit. The fruits of their first harvest – utilizing the shared picking crew from F. X. Pichler – were all vinified and matured in stainless steel tanks, although they envision using mature large oaken ovals in future for at least some of their wines to the extent they can locate some (or purchase and break-in some new ones). As they are not – at least yet – members of the Vinea Wachau growers’ association, they cannot utilize the familiar stylistic designations Federspiel and Smaragd. (And if they persist in bottling a Sudburgenland Blaufrankisch under the same label – there is a gorgeous, mineral, bitter-sweet, tartly Barbera-like 2007 in the works – then Vinea Wachau regulations will forbid their membership.)" - David Schildknecht, The Wine AdvocateRiesling Varietal character (Appellation America) | A short history of Riesling (Uncork) | Riesling (wikipedia)Austria Wein aus Österreich (Österreichischen Weinmarketinggesellschaft) | Austrian Wine Classifications (Winemonger.com)Niederösterreich Weinstraße Niederösterreich

Lower Austria isn't "southern" Austria, but rather northeastern. It derives its name from its downriver location on the Danube River, which flows from west to east.Wachau Official tourism website
