Seductive nose with citrus, melon, passion fruit, aloe vera, oriental spices, smoky-stony mineral notes. Quite full body, also full with mouth coating flavours. Nice midpalate density, vibrant acidity not only balances the richness of the wine, but makes it all lively and focused. Pretty long finish. Very impressive grüner, can put bravely next to the best wachauers. A bargain for its price. 92-93

(Nigl Grüner Veltliner "Privat" Senftenberger Pellingen) ($52.00) Even with its jalapeño heat (over 14% alc) it works in a sizzling powerful way, because it isn’t brutish, but instead keen and focused, even pepperminty.

Wow! This is a big, rich, ripe wine. Tons of melon flavors. Kind of viscous. Very long finish. Delicious.
