big petrol right out of the gate - greenish shimmering hued, then all kinds of lanolin, herbal & gooseberry - SB notes, also some orchard fruit, but fairly austere overall. Palate was lean angular razor sharp even at this age and we let it warm up too. Bone dry, racy acidity, mouth puckering finish... Wifey liked it, I didn't but could appreciate it for what it is. — 5 months ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2013 Gaisberg pours a brilliant yellow color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with fabulous notes of stone fruits, ripe tropical fruit, lemon, petrol, and a mix of sedimentary minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and powerful. At this point in its evolution, the 2013 Gaisberg is a bit of a showstopper. After a full day of really amazing wine, it got everyone’s attention in the right way. All of its pieces are in the proper place. Drink now through 2037+ — 7 months ago
Definitely taste the green apple. Dry, high acidity, high carbonation, but still a little sweet. Impressed! — 9 months ago
Blind tasting no2. We all immediately pegged this as old world Riesling. The tell tale signs of petrol and dried apricot gave it away entirely. But we all missed Austria. Probably need to learn more about differences in common Riesling areas.
Clear and bright straw yellow with powerful petrol fumes. Off dry but medium-high acidity with a low-medium body. Dried apricots with some slate completely dominate the flavors. It’s not complex, but has a good finishing length. Riesling for certain. Austria? Wouldn’t know! — 3 years ago
Great flavor. At L’Etoile — a month ago
Deep yellow. Aromatic nose, lime beeswax, jasmine, smoke, classic Riesling aromas. Dry with long finish. — 3 months ago
Excellent grüner veltliner! This vintage was very lime-forward, but I also tasted grapefruit and white pepper. Bought at Lazy Acres. — 2 years ago

Light, fruity, a little peppery. Delightful. — 4 years ago
Nose: smoke ? Pretty. A hint of gruner.
Palate: good fruit. A bit round. Good juiciness.

So good. Almost a hint of effervescence, touch of lime. So drinkable and refreshing. Absolute bargain at $22 a bottle. Definitely going back for more... [Edit: now it's $29, but totally worth it still] — a month ago
