  I thought this was undrinkable. I like steely and minerally, but this seemed green and unripe and with a bitterness I didn't care for. Really zero fruit. Very unappealing and at $20, this is very poor value.

  Totally impressive bottle of wine, with serious zing and forcefulness in the mouth, really solid structure and balance. Definitely overperforms for its price range but that's so typical of austrian, and german, wine. Lemony pithy and a little doughy, was a great choice with mostly veggie tapas plus some pulpo gallego

  Exceeded expectations. For a $15 bottle, this is truly lovely. Light citrus, melon. Mostly, clear as a bell, w/just a hint, barely a hint of sweetness. Bring this one out any night to elevate a fish or spicy chicken dish.

  Nice fruity, acid up front. Great wine at the price.

  Very pure and hinting at a controlled richness. Only flashes of pepper and mineral, with bright and dominant citrus elements. Though in no way under-ripe, there are some vegetal notes in the aromatics which serve to add a bit of complexity. Overall, very nice.
