- 2017 Schloss Gobelsburg Riesling 1ÖTW Ried Heiligenstein - Austria, Niederösterreich, Kamptal (5/19/2022)
Every once in a while I have a wine that stops me in my tracks from the very first sip. This is one of those wines.
It was as if a fruit gun had gone off. Yellow, orange and green fruit aromas just exploded from the glass. The palate was equally effusive. It settled down a bit after an hour or so, but still displayed significant power. The nuance and detail was reserved for the finish, boding well for future complexity.
Dry, fruity and exuberant for now, I may have issues keeping my hands off the rest of my bottles.
