4/16/2024 - DaleW wrote: NRThis is a wine I know well, this particular bottle came from a recent mixed auction lot. Other Austria wines in the lot were very youthful, this bottle was more advanced than I expected. Petrol dominates, ripe peach, some slight cidery notes. Not bad, but not what this wine could be There was another of these in same lot. We’ll see if a storage issue or just a bad cork. B- (C if you count disappointment) |
