March 2, 2012 - Popped and poured. Cork intact but signs of leakage. Color golden. Nose shows some reduction and SO2. On palate this has bright acid balancing fruiut leading into slightly creamy smooth medium finish. Holding up just fine and matched with the proper food would be amazing. Seems to have years ahead.

May 25, 2003 - Served blind at RD's house. I was very close with my Wachau Valley Gruner Veltliner pick from Austria. This was a golden yellow. Very food friendly. Good acidity with a tart edge. A little barnyard on the nose. Rich full citrus flavors. 91 points.
