Light golden color. Soaring aromas of apricot, petrol, and flowers. Big wine, incredible texture, just off dry, guava and stone fruit, formidable acidity. This was a tour de force-perfectly mature Austrian Riesling that will last.

Brundlmayer Riesling Heiligenstein Alte Reben and Lyra vertical 2004 to 2001 (Le Petit Sommelier): Medium intensity in the nose, subtle expression of ripe tropical fruit, that sits on the developing side. Dry, medium acidity, medium body, balanced and round, every component and white fruit in the same level, ends with a short aftertaste. It feels like lacking the wow factor of the Lyra label. Very good quality, drinking better now than later. It was the underperforming player of the Lyra team or the Alte Reben 2002 was just too good.
