Like a Duracell battery this wine won't quit. It is now 13 years old and though some of the early floral notes are decreasing the wine is still a delight to drink. It is nicely balanced. I think the color might be darkening a bit but otherwise its fine. In terms of drinking pleasure per dollar spent this is one of my best.
Light green tinged yellow. White orchard fruit. Good mineral spine. Good acidity. Round white fruit with a lemony citrus dimension. I enjoyed but did not find it especially interesting. From my last note, almost two years ago, it seems the bottle has lost a step. Will continue to follow it.

Tasted Blind. I got a nose of buttered popcorn, although I must admit no one else backed my claim. Whatever it was, the nose was very interesting with a nice wet stone smell running though it as well. On the palate it was dry and I got lime, lemon, honeydew and something vegetal. Could have passed for a Sauvignon Blanc but I knew it wasn't that. In the end it was a Gruner Veltliner.

This is one tough white wine. 12 years old it still tastes young. Good fruit, nice color. Still going strong.
