  It's always a nice surprise when cheap wine age well!
  
  Fully developed nose with medium intensity. Yellow plum, dried mango, lemoncurd, resin, petroleum, dried herbs, wet slate and fermented sausage (isterband).
  
  Medium(+) acidity, medium(-) body and just a liiiiittle bit of RS. Surprisingly fresh and not hollow or dried out at all. Yellow plum, bruised yellow pear, baked lemon and resin. The finish lingers a bit with dried plum and lemonzest.
  
  Drink now!

  Little fruit and nerve left. Good with matured cheese

  My first Austrian win...and I liked it. Very riesling in profile, with some sort of citrus a friend and I tried to pinpoint. More like grapefruit or orange than apple or pear. And a nice mineral notes as well. Based on this producer and tasting, I can see myself purchasing these Austrian wines as alternate to German rieslings. Recommended.
  11/29/10-Now a few days in the bottle. although a decent amount of fruit was present, this wine seemed more about structure. Had German rieslings very fruit forward but this Austrian struck a nice balance between all components.

  Slow to get going, and a delicate nose. Notes of herbs and apple, floral. Crisp acidity with apple echoed on the palate with some more exotic spice notes and a saline quality. Quite peppery, eventually quite richly textured. Once it opened up and got going it was quite good. Seems to have a very big upside and will be better in time.

  Took a great while before opened up. Very fresh and a lot of minerals - a small string of lemon and green hay. Better with food than as apertizer.
