Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, November/December 2008, Issue #141
(F.X. Pichler Gruner Veltliner Smaragd Urgestein Terrassen) ($51) Pale green-yellow. Mango, pineapple and ripe apricot mingle with marshmallow, green peppercorn and fresh tobacco leaves on the nose. Similarly complex in the mouth, with apricot and mango fruit elegantly supported by vibrant acidity. This very appetizing wine is already nicely balanced and exhibits refreshing, crisp green apple on the lingering finish. Drink now to 2017. 92 points |
