點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：1635

A bold Gruner Veltliner, with spice and minerality to go with the rich fruit. There is a steely edge that suggests the wine needs a year’s aging, to bring on greater richness. Big and impressive.——R.V.(12/31/2009)—— 92

The Hundsleiten vineyard is on the last slopes of the Weinviertel looking across the Danube Valley. With its great exposure, it produces a rich style of Gruner, with added structure and minerality. In 2007, the vintage exposed the terroir, giving a flinty edge to the still-rich character.——R.V.(11/15/2008)—— 92

There is some wood here, particularly to smell, but it forms a seasoning for the intense concentrated flavors. Mandarin oranges and some smoky minerality are mixed in a creamy, rich blend. An impressive wine.——R.V.(10/1/2006)—— 92

In keeping with a cool year, this ’04 has layered acidity, pepper and an intense lemon zest and light, poised flavors. It’s vivid, fresh and ready to drink. ——R.V.(10/1/2006)—— 89
