Vinous, 91 points: A striking, ripe nose of papaya, kumquat and prickly lemon rind allied with intimations of Veltliner-typical yellow split pea sets the tone for a zesty yet lushly mouthfilling performance. Alkaline, peat-like smoky and...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Pichler's 2013 Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Loibner Loibenberg shows a very clear, lemon-fresh, herbal-flavored and complex bouquet leading to a vibrant, spicy, tension-filled, yet every elegant and expressive, palate. And...
Wine Enthusiast, 93 points: Distinct botrytis notes of dried apricot and musk for now dominate the nose while the primary fruit still sleeps in this dry, still-closed wine. The palate is sleek and flowing, while the backbone of acidity sits upright...
Vinous, 97 points: Succulent white peach and Persian melon are tinged more subtly than usual for this bottling with Madagascar and Szechuan peppercorns, black tea and crushed stone. There is hauntingly bittersweet floral perfume wafting...
Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Slender poise and supercharged lemon are signaled with the first sniff. A pleasantly bitter note—think almond or Castelfranco—plays along the edges of the palate before riper, more generous yellow plum kicks in, always...
Vinous, 95 points: Salt, white pepper and Szechuan peppercorn mouthwateringly and invigoratingly inflect luscious, juicy white peach, pineapple and lime. A sleek and refined texture contributes to this bottling’s overall sense of elegance...
Vinous, 93 points: This latest installment of a bottling from loess vineyards near the Krems city limits that has been part of the Nigl portfolio from its inception delivers lushly ripe and juicy apple and honeydew melon laced with lentil...
Vinous, 94 points: Snap pea and fresh green bean spell Grüner Veltliner in a much more obvious way than did the scents or flavors in this year’s Gärtling and Freiheit bottlings. The nose also brings suggestions of marine breeze and...
jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Lemon and pineapple on the nose with mango, smoke, flint and citrus rind . Full-bodied with lovely fruit and a complex finish of chalk, stone and dried fruit. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap.
Vinous, 94 points: Bottled in November of last year, this repeatedly failed the official test for Qualitätswein, a detail that Niki Saahs imparts with seeming relish as well as amusement. High-toned suggestions of floral distillates mingle...
Vinous, 94 points: (93-94 points) Whereas its 2012 predecessor was bottled in April 2015, this 2013 was still several weeks out from bottling when I last tasted it in June 2016. The combination of richness with juiciness and levity, as well...
Vinous, 97 points: Bottled in June 2016, this texturally silken, supremely elegant effort transparently and kaleidoscopically combines moss, wet stone, gentian, buddleia, coriander, pepper, piquant yet rich nut oils and a saline clam broth...
Vinous, 96 points: Head-turningly high-toned floral and herbal essences and extract of almond and pistachio rise from the glass, then persist strikingly as billowing, expansive inner-mouth perfume. Luscious white peach and Crenshaw melon...
Wine Spectator, 90 points: A ripe style, with richly textured flavors of peach, pear and dried apricot, layered with vanilla notes. Creamy accents show on the finish. Drink now through 2018. 2,000 cases made. –KM
