bright in the glass, youthful straw in color. soft in texture and quite unctuous, dominated by the candied notes of botrytis, and dry, only 12.5%. delicious and unique, but also hard to distinguish from botrytized gruner

Really interesting wine but probably travelling under a false flag -- taste like a great riesling more so than a SB. Still, a wonderful wine -- just go in eyes wide open.

07&08 F.X. Pichlers (Tooch's apt, Washington DC): nose: lighter and fragrant nose of lemon zest, minerals, citrus tones, and some bits of wet rocks. Good balance, but lacking a bit of depth and definition
taste: delicate and light feel with medium+ acidity and fresh tones of minerals, wet rocks, lemon zest and some bits of tart citrus'
overall: This was an extremely good sauvignon blanc, but it didn't really get to that next level that dageneau or some bordeaux blancs can hit. It has good balance, but is lacking some depth and real verve to put it into the level of the rieslings and gruners

F.X. Pichler Tasting (my apartment): Fresh wine with good amounts of tropical fruit. Really enjoyable.
