Domane Wachau, Achleiten, Gruner Veltliner, Smaragd 2005

Straw.

Ripe pear, spice, slight pepper nose. A bit bodacious.

Opens with a suggestion of sweetness and perfectly ripened pear in the mouth. Quite deep, but reined in by chewy mineral/acid synergy. Not complex, but gets major points for ripe fruit and deliciousness.
