91 Points
Monday, October 3, 2016 - -- opened 1.5 hours before first taste --
-- tasted non-blind over a couple hours --
NOSE: medium+ expressiveness; strong mineral tone set against a backdrop of lemon/lime peels; not complex.
BODY: green-yellow color of medium-light depth; tiny bit of spritz; medium-light bodied.
TASTE: 12.5% alc. not noticeable; medium+ acidity; a bit zippy; strong mineral, especially on the finish, which is medium-long and of medium-strong intensity; tropical --- coconut/lime/gooseberry; better than usual for this bottling --- did Austria get some of Germany's 2015 magic?; very nice, and I will happily buy again for $17; drink in the near term, as this seems open and not complex.
50, 5, 12, 17, 7 = 91
