Pichler-Krutzler Grüner Veltliner Alte Reben Pfaffenberg

Yellow. Very fragrant herbal and floral aromas. Medium weight, fairly glycerine. A bit of citrus but mostly about savory, earthy, botanical flavors. Slight bitterness on the finish. Interesting and good.

I think I drank this too young, as it's a bit hot and simple at the moment. Peppery, limey nose, with a hint of tropical fruit and something lactic and savoury. Much fruitier and straightforward on the palate, with a reasonable degree of cut but no apparent complexity and some distracting warmth on the saline finish (the wine's labelled 13%, but felt higher).
