 Tasted by drwine2001 on 9/16/2023: A Delightful Dinner in Vienna: Yellow to gold. Honeyed aromas. Full bodied for Riesling. Ripe lower toned stone fruit, a tad of residual sugar, some remaining acidity. Big, broad wine. (620 views)
 Tasted by LW31 on 2/24/2022: Classic dense, rich, somewhat unwieldy wine. It's impressive without being particularly exciting. Some felt it just needed several hrs of air to properly open. (254 views)
 Tasted by Mascarello59 on 8/6/2015 & rated 93 points: Peach and tropical fruit but grapefruit as the determinant aroma. Sweet on the nose but dry on the palate. Rich (but yet light) spicy palate with great fruit, minerals and an uplifting acidity to complement. Complex and a nice finish. A really great bottle! 93-94p (1101 views)
 Tasted by WineCellarTV on 7/11/2013 & rated 95 points: Deep and bright golden.
Straight aromas of ripe Stone Fruits and Peach Jam. Honey.
Some Petrol, Mint and other Herbs. Shining minerality.
Straight forward, precise, but rich and complex!
More ripe Fruit flavors. Mostly jammy Peach and other Stone Fruits with hints of Gooseberry. Finishes long with present, somehow smooth Acidity, beautiful Fruit, fresh Herbs, mineral Characteristics and traces of Anise. Round, harmonious, nicely integrated and complex!

A greatly structured, sophisticated and beautifully aged wine, which hardly gets any better. Voluminious with perfect proportions.
Drinking very good now, but there´s no need to hurry.

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.
