Notes of juniper with a smoky and chalky base, but also mineral notes of cold steel, spice of lemongrass and fruit of citrus, stone fruit and a pinch of kiwi. Decent acidity, but could have been a more fresh, also a somewhat bitter aftertaste. Maybe needs a bit of time?

Visits in the Wachau and Kamptal; 10/4/2023-10/5/2023 (In and around the Wachau and Kamptal, Lower Austria): The nose is fresh and fragrant with tones of lemon peels, peaches, white fruits, rose petals, crushed rocks, and some white flowers. This is very different for me and also fairly intriguing. It does lack some depth on the nose that would otherwise really make this, but I do like what I'm smelling. The Medium bodied feel is balanced and fresh with tart, high acidity. This is a fun wine that is a good changeup from what I've otherwise had. That said, it's good for a data point and then moving on.

Austrian Estate Visits; 9/13/2023-9/15/2023 (In and around the Wachau valley): Herbal. Light to medium body with a bit of soil but neutral flavors. Not much here.
