Loimer "Alte Reben (Old Vine)" Spiegel (Vyd) Gruner Veltliner 1999 Austria

Light yellow.

Sesame oil, pear and citrus nose.

Intense pepper/citrus entry, slightly sweet (?), with bracing acid/mineral chew to balance. This is loaded. More interesting, structured and long as it airs. Extremely long mineral chew finish.


This is way more interesting than most white wines of similar age.


$30?
