Not as attractive as the Poharnig, Sabathi’s Possnitzberg bottling shows some overtly vegetal aromas of bell pepper and crushed tomato leaf. It’s plump and viscous, showing good sugar ripeness, but the flavors are just too green to garner a higher rating. ——J.C.(12/1/2006)—— 86

An exciting Sauvignon Blanc from Styria, the Possnitzberg bottling is smoky and minerally, yet at the same time wonderfully ripe, boasting peach and citrus flavors and a full-bodied, concentrated mouthfeel. Finishes long.——J.C.(12/15/2004)—— 90
