2008 F.X.Pichler Gruner Veltliner Smaragd Urgestein Terrassen (750ml)

Medium green-yellow color. Enticing aromas of apricot, blossom honey and smoky flint. Full-bodied but wonderfully delineated, with abundant juicy mango and apple flavors laced with dried herbs and flinty nuances. A firm acid structure and mineral framework gives this plenty of finesse. Sappy grapefruit on the appetizing finish. Drink 2011 to 2013. 91 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Nov/Dec 09.
