Weingut Bründlmayer

Alte Reben Grüner Veltliner

The only one on a good horizontal lineup that I wouldn’t pick blind , but good. Leaning into Chablis territory with leesy creaminess and maybe some oak, but still has a pleasant rounded herbal nose (artichoke, succulents)  and comes together in a pleasantly balanced, rounded tone  — 2 days ago

Wein-Erbhof Stein

Palmberg Kabinett Trocken Alte Reben Riesling 2023

Excellent Riesling. Stone fruit, green apple Jolly Rancher, salt, grass, minerals, bitter-dry finish. Uplifting and fresh. With sesame-kimchi salmon, bok choy and sushi rice. Very good pairing. — 6 months ago

Rödelseer Schwanleite Alte Reben Trocken Sylvaner 2017

Vintage 2017 | Amazing how fresh the Franken Silvaner stays after bottle and cellar years. Honeymelon and citrus in smell, minerality in taste, crisp and fresh. Almonds in aftertaste. Paired with Thai Pad Kra Pao from tofu. | second day with sole and asparagus, very adequate. — 2 months ago

Thörnicher Ritsch Alte Reben Riesling Auslese 2010

Lyle Fass
9.8

Have not had in 4 years and as brilliant as ever. Unreal freshness and acid. Lush, rich, energetic and long. Nose is a stunning perfume of slate, green apple and wet earth plus citrus. 9.9 nose. So juicy, decadent, honeyed and refreshing. So so insane. — 4 months ago

Ziereisen

Jaspis Baden Alte Reben Spätburgunder 2011

Very dense and big! Could go for another 10-15 years. I like Ziereisen wines and met him. Yet i prefer more elegant renditions. Quite dark. Cherry, blackberry, lime, cherry. Super complex. Plenty of acids. If you have this in your cellar you are in for a treat. Ziereisen is a little bit full of himself rightfully so but still - i prefer the humble. — 7 months ago

Wilde Farm

Halcon Vineyard Syrah 2017

This is quite youthful and seems on the natty side, but not too much so. Also seems like it was deliberately picked on the not-quite-ripe side. The nose is super-bright, with crunchy little purple mountain berries and pink peppercorns. A bit of cured beef too. In the mouth, the acids are through the roof, overriding some nice, crisp, dark berry flavors. There is a bare hint of barnyard funk too. Very nice length. Overall it’s got a lot of character but seems a little disjointed. Picking a tad riper may have made a better wine, but it wouldn’t have made a “statement,” which I think was what was primarily behind this wine. — 8 months ago
