{magnum} In the 70s, in February, seemed very appropriate to open. This was in a good not great place and a fair value for the $72 I paid all those years ago. 13,5% abv.

A little more deeper golden than I expected. Mostly minerals and stoniness on the palate with just a bit of tart citrus. A nice wine but showing just a bit of age earlier than I thought so unless this is an unusual bottle, it should be consumed soon.

I have plenty of experience with German Riesling but am a bit of a novice with Austria. If I were in a blind tasting, I would not have known this was Riesling. I must experiment more with Austria!
This was a great wine. Great level of acidity, minerality, and saline. It is bright, crisp, mouthwatering, lime....quite a pleasure.
I look forward to the 2016 and 2017 I have in my cellar.

Significantly more petrol character now, but not in a bad way. It swells over the fruit however, so not all will like this one equally. Well balanced for food. Very crisp and clean in the mouth. Last bottle sadly....
