Wow. One of the best rieslings I have ever tasted. Bought right after release at the winery. Aged to a soft and warm palate full of honeyed sweet lime and white cherries. Incredible tension between ripe aged texture and immense freshness and lifted acidity. Very long, saline finish. Superb!

Medium yellow. Complex aromas with botanical herbs. Full bodied, acidic, dry, and powerful. Almost like a Gruner in being so herbal. Dry stone fruit behind all of this, long, earthy finish. Outstanding young wine with terrific potential.

Herbal/ lemon grass nose with spice and a brazen stoniness, which carries into the palate. Palate is broad and lush on entry with concentrated acidity coming through in the middle. Finishes light and clean with good length. The quality of the juice is outstanding. Excellent - Drink or Hold

Double decanted about 4 hours before serving, and (as usual) another winner from Alzinger. It starts out with ripe citrus and stone fruit flavours framed by stony minerality, but with air it becomes more flamboyant and floral on the nose, developing bright lavender and verdant/herbal notes around the bright fruit. There's tremendous intensity on the palate, yet a remarkable sense of lightness at the same time, and powerful acids keeping it very well balanced. Great wine.

Bright, intensely fruited, and so balanced. Medium-viscous texture and sharp minerals add to the intrigue. Delicious.
