Drank a few older Austrians this week. A 2003 Knoll GV had distinct petrol, a bit unpleasant. The 2003 Prager Riesling and this 2004 Hirtzberger GV still showing fruit and vibrancy.

Full nose has loads of white pepper, herb and ripe apple fruit. Palate still has youthful fruit and acidity for a 12 year old GV. Round and mouth coating body with a lingering finish. Impressive.

Monthly tasting club "The Tasting Club" 2016-?; Austria (@ PD): In the bouquet yellow fruits, honey and herbs. On the palate the same. Some licorice. Concentrated wine with good acidity and some pleasant bitterness in the finish. Really good wine and a surprising start of this tasting.

While this has always been good, at age 10 it's finally starting to show its pedigree and more exotic side. Lots of stone fruit, ginger, white pepper and citrus. This wine has evolved from shy into something more quietly elegant.

Mint, lily flowers, pea shoots, lime zest, rock. Effortless, floating, and enhances any food it touches.
