Community Tasting Notes (3) Avg Score: 89.7 points

  • First bottle of two. Waited deliberately for 10 years to make a fair judgement as these wines tend to evolve positively over many years and loose their steeliness along the way. Bright yellow in color with hardly a visible sign of its age. The nose reminds me of a high quality dry Vouvray with tones of lanolin, honey and citrus. Fine acidity combined with substance and depth. I had expected to find a bit more of the characteristic white pepper in this wine. Apart from that this is a very pleasurable wine that is out of the ordinary and with many more years ahead. Paired this with fried red mullet and lemon/parsley sauce. Alcohol content of 13,5 didn’t show at all. Only the price tag (bought in Austria for 43 euros a bottle) keeps me from stocking up on this.

    (Willi Bründlmayer Grüner Veltliner Ried Lamm) ($77.00) And so I held out only moderate hope for the ‘11. And was delightedly surprised, for it already shows powerfully swollen vinous-meaty aromas, quite open for a young Lamm. A whiplash of woodsy-barley richness on the tertiary finish; it’s like a big truffley veal chop right now, but there’s a lot of exquisiteness in store. ++
