Wine Information:
Now ennobled by the juice from Gaisberg’s oldest vines. The aromas are again, utterly
uncanny; the dark lilac wisteria of ’08 with the subtle woodsiness and the surmise of
tertiary flavors. This year the wine is so brilliant it couldn’t really be “softened,” so it
wraps the brash mineral and keening fruit in a warm jacket of vinosity; it recalls
Nikolaihof’s ’05 Steiner Hund (Jungfernlese, not the later-released Reserve), but its
detail and spice and length and precision are astonishing. White wine doesn’t get any
better than this.
