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.

light golden in color. flint, citrus, floral, on the nose. mineral, citrus, orange, straw, oak, on the palate. medium acid, medium crisp, on the finish.

(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. ++
