Nice snap and sizzle. Golden apple, pear, grapefruit pith, and crushed rocks. False effervescence that fades with air. Sustainable farming. Great QPR. — a day ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of four days and largely consistent throughout…though maybe leaning towards Day 3-4. The 2012 pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart tropical and orchard fruit: pineapple, peach cup, tangerine, petrol, minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. What a banger! AlZINGer does it again. These beg for some time in the cellar but few have the patience. Wow. Drink now through 2032 easy. — a month ago

En mag. What else to enjoy after seeing Magic Flute this afternoon? Layers of flavors build on one another in each sip. Don’t drink it too cold, you’ll miss half the show. Actually, don’t drink it at all, as it will render all other Riesling inferior. — 6 hours ago

Electrifying. Maybe slightly one dimensional - but if that dimension is to your liking, this is great. Just tons and tons of precise minerality and acid with some white fruit. Delicious. Crazy value for $18 on prerelease. — 8 days ago

Any time I open a Riesling or GV from a reputable producer, I wonder why I don’t open them more often.

Great vintage, great Austrian producer.

I really enjoy the differences between Alsatian Rieslings, German Rieslings and Austrian Rieslings, the latter normally being a bit more textural/full-bodied (and higher in ABV at 13%, compared to the typical 8-10% range of the others). Pale yellow in the glass. White peach and a sweet lemon/lemongrass type of aromatic. Ripe stone fruits (more peach but also apricot) and minerals/slate alongside a spine of acidity that isn’t sharp, but balanced. Tasty. — a month ago
