December 24, 2021 - So long Grillenparz, last bottle, yes evolved color. Tolerably apple tree fruit palate. Still very fresh. Nothing too shroomy, dare I say drink to 2030+
July 4, 2020 - evolved color. After three days open, real subtle and chill.
December 22, 2018 - Taking on some mature weight. Not getting band-aid.
December 26, 2016 - Lovely Riesling, mineral, citrus fruits, floral and a racy acidity. Much more mineral and elegant than the opulent 2009. Drink or hold. - 91 points
October 30, 2015 - Sweet sugary aromas. Whiff of gasolene. Palate is bone dry. Pretty tart and austere. Does it need more time?
January 30, 2015 - And it was gone. Lots of crunch. Feels like it's putting in some weight. At VOLUME.
November 28, 2013 - Opened at 10am. At pop and pour, tree fruit aromas. Lots of texture on the palate, extract and creaminess. Fleshy pear palate.
Then a 7 hour slow-ox in the fridge. Palate gains loads of fruit richness with some air. Ripe white fleshed fruit palat with a modest floral spice nuance. Mouthwatering, but a generally ripe fruit showcased over acid. A hint grape-y. Mineral crunch and lots of palate complexity.
September 21, 2012 - Ripe and crisp pear aromas.
Day 2, sweet lime flavor on the palate. Crisp and almost a touch of fruit spice a la prickly pear. Aromas melding with the celery in the mirepoix going next to me. Wine diamonds and a really giving texture.
July 11, 2012 - Spritzy, fleshy, tasty. Well done for $34.99
June 6, 2012 - Shows off the hiedonism of Austrian riesling. Beautiful stuff.
