Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 5, 2013 - From 75cl, glass stopper. Well, this is, uh, different. Would never had guessed GV blind. Knowing it is Austrian, then perhaps a Cuvée of oak-aged Sauvignon Blanc and steel-tank Morillon? Where is the white pepper and glassy-oily GV Smaragd clarity? Nope. But a fine, pungent wine it is, with high concentration and fine acidity - a good thing too, as there is an alarmingly high level of residual sugar. (13% alc... most Austrian wine makers I am more familiar with would have let this juice ferment to 14-15,5%). By the end of the bottle we were glad we had got... to the end of the bottle, and were soundly reminded that too much of a good thing can be... too much of a good thing. 89P all the same - and if the sweetness dries out with another couple of years in bottle, perhaps even higher. Very fair value indeed at 36 EUR with good food at the Villa Marie in Dresden.
