  April 16, 2015 - Ripe apricot fruit layered on densely mineral dominated backbone. Lip smacking good, with just enough sweetness on the finish to pair well with some spicy grilled sausage.

  March 22, 2014 - Minerality and yellow fruit. Good acidity and bitterness. Very lovely. Give some air to let it express itself.

  May 16, 2011 - Showcases an intense, vivid minerality - as if this came from steel and rocks rather than grapes - but with some air some bright white fruited flavours develop. Rich though light on its feet with bright acids, but showing a touch of finishing heat that surprises me. Very nice, though doesn't have the sheer precision and impeccable balance of Alzinger's Steinertal.

  February 23, 2011 - Popped and poured, very complex nose of damp moss, flowers, with grove fruit in the background. The palate is gorgeous with ripe citrus/orchard fruit, nuts, minerals. These flavors persist to a substantial midpalate with saline notes all lifted up by great, but not overbearing acidity. I have no idea how much residual sugar is in this wine, not much but just enough to make all the notes harmonious. The Alzinger hype is justified in my opinion.
