Nice to revisit this wine. It seems full mature at this point. Golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has some limes along with a touch of yellow grapefruit and a bit of petrol. Medium bodied. On the palate, this has a nice complexity. Citrus and minerality. With age this has rounded out and while it drinks well on its own, it is very food friendly. Drink over the next five to ten years.
Delicious, if young, Austrian Riesling. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has some apples, slight lemon and slight diesel. Medium to full bodied. On the palate, clean with apples and lemons and nice minerality. Dry. Strong, lovely acidity. Long finish. This will continue to mature and improve for another five to ten years and drink well for ten to twelve after that. It is great on its own and very versatile (and probably better) with food. It went well with Quiche.
From a "premier cru" vineyard that has the oldest vines used by Schloss Gobelsburg. Green/yellow/gold in color, clear and bright. The wine has some heft to it, even in thinner vintages. It is fuller, "meatier" than the Gaisberg vineyard. Lots of minerals and spice, and some floral notes. Medium to full bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, slight peach, but this is more about minerality and spice. Dry. Long finish. This is delicious now, but really needs a few years to flesh out.
Pale Gold in color, clear and bright. This took maybe 3o to 45 minutes to open up. On the nose there is a nice lemon candy note with some minerality. On the palate, the lemon candy comes thru along with fresh lemons and underlying minerality. Slight char. There is a nice depth and complexity here. Still on the youthful side with plenty of vibrancy. Long finish. This should drink well for another twelve to fifteen years. This is great on its own and will work with a wide variety of lighter foods including fried chicken.
A very respectable showing for a 20 year old Austrian Riesling. This was about $25 on release and over the years, I have consumed a bunch - all good as it matured. It now has a deep golden color, clear and bright. The nose has slight petrol, a bit of burnt honey and nice minerality. On the palate, slight pineapple and apricots. This is dry. Good finish. This is drinking nicely. Mature, but no hurry. It should easily go another decade though it won't improve. It will work well with cheeses or even Thai food.
A very different vintage from the generous 2019, this wine shows a lot of concentration and reflects the "premier cru" vineyard. Yellow/golden in color, clear and bright. The nose features spice, minerals but also a bit of tropical fruits/pineapple. Medium bodied. Slightly viscous in texture. On the palate, this is dry and tight, but unwinds in the glass. Lots of minerality, some pineapple, along with slight tannins. Long finish. This drinks well on its own but will work better with food. This would work well with a yellow curry dish. Hold for a few years and then drink over the n
