By Terry Theise
(Alzinger Grüner Veltliner Mühlpoint Federspiel) ($31.00) This is the hillside below the Steinertal, where the slope moderates and you don’t need terraces. The soil changes too, and we’re into the lentil and green-bean side of GrüVe now. But where this wine is usually soft and elliptical, this ’10 is remarkably forceful, almost like a corpulent Loibenberg; steel-spined, mizuna and maitakes; length and even minerality, unusual for the site. Almost craggy, and demands oxygen.

Lots of petrol. Maybe some red fruits. Starting to show a little bit of that pine-nut, aged characteristic. Lime notes, a touch of honey, great acidity. It clings to the side of the palate.

Even for a gruV this was high acid. Donated everything and felt out of balance.

Not very charming, even on the 2nd day when it is more harmonious. I decanted this wine 5 hours ahead of drinking it. It showed a definite sense of place, but the wine is so lean in frame and in stuffing, so devoid of fruit, so austere, that it is hard to enjoy at this stage. It is better with food and it isn't bad to begin with, but this is something that will satisfy the intellectual aspect of wine drinking, not the visceral aspect.

Apple and honey aromas. White peach and honey but very crisp acidity and mineral notes. Medium to long finish. Ends with some green vegetable nuances. Quite complex.
