Community Tasting Note

• Doc Malvern wrote: 90 points

  July 14, 2023 - Technically a very good wine, but to me needs rich food to balance it out and show it at its best. It’s quite rich and fruity with peach, apricot, honey, passion fruit, pineapple, and white pepper flavours. Rounded acidity, textured, a slight fruit sweetness and very long finish.

  2019 was a fantastic vintage in Austria and this shows in the very fruit forward aroma profiles and we’ll pronounced acidity.
  It’s like a red Bordeaux - initially you have a fruit forward phase and then a leaner, more balanced and elegant wine develops with time.
  I’m aware not everyone likes mature whites and not everyone wants to wait 10 years to drink a white wine.

I have 3 0,75 and 3 Mgns. of this vintage but will wait at least for a few more years…The vintage is a great one for Austrian white wine in general, by the way…the high Parker notes made the price of Gobelsburg’s wines explode, so it feels good to have some of them in the cellar
