(Mostly) Old Alzinger at Trestle (Trestle on Tenth, NYC): Beautiful aromatics; surprisingly exotic and flamboyant for Grüner with a bright floral topnote, rich white fruited flavours and classic GV green herbal/lentil elements coming together into a lovely fragrance. There's surprising power and intensity on the palate, it feels unusually full bodied and rich for Alzinger, yet the balance is impeccable with powerful acidity beneath and remarkable length. Fantastic.

1/4/2012 - Federsin Does not like this wine:
Opened and poured, I am not sure if the bottle was bad, but I did not like this at all, very muddled . . .

Sharp acidity and taste of pears and spices. Long.
