Hiedler "Thal" Gruner Veltliner, Kamptal 2006

Straw.

Smoky, popcorn/creamed corn nose currently dominated by sulfides. But actually attractive, particularly for white Burgundy people. Herbs and citrus/pear underneath. Sulfide character receding with air and warming.

Intense, bright flavors are all over the map - sulfide/skunk, lemon, fresh apple, fresh herbs. Jesus. Definitely has RS to fill in the mid-palate and extend the finish. But there's so much mineral/phenolic/sulfide "chew" you really don't notice. Wild, killer action.

$30, screwcap, 14% alcohol listed
