Fine Wines of Austria; 5/6/2010-5/7/2010: Fatter minerality, clean grapefruits, almost neutral with clean polished stones. Cooked lentils, lively memon tinged mineral water. Fresh and racy. Has purity of fruits with schisty character.

Ultimate Parker in Singapore Mega-Tasting (The Fullerton Hotel, Singapore): I liked this - thought it was a clear step up from the 2008 Zobinger Heiligenstein Riesling from the same house. Lightly oaked, the nose showed some vanilla nestling amongst white fruit, peaches and perfumy flowers, with just that touch of savoury lentils underneath. Palate also showed a little oak-influence on the attack, but had plenty going on apart from that - spice, sweet stone fruit, lovely prickly mineral, all rather intense. It unfortunately flattered to deceive past the mid-palate. Nice fruit, spicy lingers, but got just rather shortish and hollow on the finish. Pity. This was otherwise a nice little wine indeed.
