July 9, 2015 - Medium body, very slightly oleaginous, dry, highly mineral with a grassy underlining that is complemented by notes of bell pepper and spices and a hint of petrol. Finish is very short. Was excellent at room temperature right upon opening but 10+ minutes later it got too flabby and needed a light chill. 11.5% ABV. Reminded me a bit of Breggo's Sauvignon Blanc. Best Grüner Veltliner I've had to date but a rather poor QPR. I'd say drink these soon... (by 2017?)

2012 Austrian Catalog, 6/1/2012 (link)(Ott Grüner Veltliner "Der Ott") ($44.00) This one’s from younger vines in the top sites. It’s bracingly fresh all the way through; markedly more minerality now; really sprightly given its 13.5% alc.; mint and macha, fibrous and insinuatingly long; smoky roasted-pepper finish. Here was when we started talking about the spreading of compost, because these were existentially different from any other ‘11 GVs I’d tasted. As I’ve written in the vintage report, Bernhard feels this was the first vintage where the compost has a discernible impact on the actual shape and structure of the wine. By now I was entirely willing to believe! +
