WTN: The grün, grün grass of home

by David M. Bueker » Mon Jun 11, 2012 7:25 am

2006 Erich Salomon/Undhof Grüner Veltliner Reserve Lindberg (Kremstal)
Opened to accompany some Thai green curry. The curry was much too spicy for the wine, so most was drank on its own. This Grüner is showing a trace development, but only the barest trace. The fruit has mellowed a bit, and a creaminess has crept in around the edges. There's still plenty of fresh pea and citrus, and the acidity is lively, so the wine never seems heavy. Maybe there's a trace of heat, but that could have been the poor food match talking, as I did not notice it later. Very good.

Nice. I've heard from some friends (who drink these wines more often than I do) that a few of the '06 Austrians are slimming down a bit and losing some of their baby fat.

Hi David -

Thank you for the great note. I like Salomon's wines, but have never tried the Lindberg GV before. Sounds like a nice wine.
