Hirtzberger, Gruner Veltliner, Honivogl, Smaragd 2003 (Austria)

Yellow.

Smoke, creamed corn, thyme, lemon nose.

Round, deep and rich in the mouth, with a nice lemon lift in the mid-palate. Corpulent, but manages some framing mineral chew in the finish. Very satisfying, but hardly your typical version of this wine.
