2010 年份的 Gruner Veltliner Kremser Weingarten 散發(fā)著鳶尾花、香瓜的芳香，口感順滑甘美，極具張力，余味持久，伴有石頭和碘般的礦物味。該酒仍需再熟成 6 年。

Schmid 2010 年份的 Gruner Veltliner Pfarrweingarten 與同類的 Satzen 酒相比，雖缺少些微果汁味，也沒那般清爽提神，但風格更宏大柔和，部分原因可能是脫酸處理的結(jié)果。酒中帶有成熟蜜露和香瓜的風味，伴有些許生菜和小扁豆的味道。我計劃在未來 18 至 24 個月內(nèi)享用。

The Schmid bottling of diverse origins known as 2007 Gruner Veltliner Kremser Weingarten displays saline and alkaline mineral suggestions from the nose on, allied to lime, honeydew melon, and musky, narcissus-like floral perfume. A radish-like bite impinges on the lush melon and lime palate, and a deep note of beet root helps remind one of the grape variety in question. Less pungent than the Pfarrweingarten, this superb value boasts impressive concentration and persistence, and should be worth following for at least 3-4 years. (The successor to last year’s outstanding Gruner Veltliner Alte Reben bottling – matured in a mixture of tank and new acacia barrels – was very awkward last June and I shall try to re-taste it this year.) Josef Schmid – son of the eponymous Schmid for whom the winery is named – did not score quite the number of successes this year that had come to my attention from 2006. But visiting with him made clear the passion with which he is pursuing quality, and which is resulting in some excellent values. Nearly all of the 2007s here were rather tight and reductive last summer, so they may well all benefit short term from time in bottle.Importer: Weygandt-Metzler Importing, Unionville, PA; tel.

The Schmid 2007 Gruner Veltliner Pfarrweingarten – from a gravel site – evinces stony, smoky, peppery accents to a juicy, refreshing peach and snap pea matrix. Glossy in texture and with ample ripeness and fullness (despite less than 13% alcohol), yet stimulating vivacity, this finishes with cress and pepper sizzle and impressive grip. It should give pleasure for at least 3-4 years. Interestingly, this and the Satzen bottling are truly and unusually bone dry, at a gram or less residual sugar, a testimony to what German speakers would call “extract sweetness,” because there is no way these wines taste austere.
