Agree with other posters. Like the nose more than the wine itself. Very steely. Tastes a bit mechanical / artificial, like it was made in a lab. Not sure how Wine Enthusiast gave this a 90.

Reveals a bit of citrus and peach aromas on the nose. When you take a sip, it's bone dry with biting, crisp acidity. Flint, steel, and minerality provide macho bravado. An herbaceous hay-ride through Austrian back country. A real eye-opener. Good breakfast wine.

I concur with Ben C. Really powerful and attractive nose, suggesting the wine will be delicious. The attack is great, but from the mid palate through the finish, an acerbic greenish bitterness clamps down, making this exceedingly difficult to enjoy.

Nose is more pronounced then in years past. Palate is really, really, really steely. Basically maybe just cheap fruit showing the hands of a good wine maker? Over at $15.
