  Popped and poured. Color straw. Nose shows chalky citrus aromas with floral notes. On palate this is rich with considerable acidity, but the acid is soft and supports a medium long creamy finish. Really a delicious gruner.

  Nose: Clean . Med intensity - youthful/developing - aromas of pear, melon and lime. Palate: Dry - Med plus acidity - Med body - Med flavour intensity and Med plus length. Aromas of pear, melon ant the classic white pepper often found in Grüner Veltliner. What I like about the taste is that it is clean and precise. A good wine that is well balanced. Ready to drink, but can keep.

  Sunday Evening (My House, Denver, CO): First try of the '07 (had a half case of the '05). This was similar, but crisper and lighter on its feet. Expressive nose of apples, pears, flowers and an strong ribbon of mineral/stones that prickles a bit (bubbles?). Palate has light fruit with a small dose of citrus emerging and crisp acidity that finishes in great balance. Very appealing.
