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, 96 points: The oak, vanilla, toast, acacia blossom, and creme brulee-scented 1998 Chardonnay Trockenbeerenauslese Nouvelle Vague Number 9 is an intensely sweet, fat, and candied wine. Full-bodied and powerful, this is a dense (yet...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The orange/yellow-colored 1998 Scheurebe Trockenbeerenauslese Zwischen den Seen Number 3 explodes from the glass with spices, lychee nuts, roses, and candied white raisins. It is gorgeously focused, fresh, medium-bodied...
Wine Spectator, 95 points: A powerful sweetie, delivering intense flavors of apricot, chamomile and pear tart that coat the mouth with creamy lusciousness. Features lemon curd and peach jam on the rich finish. Drink now through 2035. 1,000 cases...
Wine Enthusiast, 90 points: Exotic tropical pineapple overtones give an immediate impression of ripeness. The palate confirms that generous fruit but also delivers a lovely phenolic texture and sufficient freshness to keep it lively and appetizing...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: Though harvested around the end of September and in the context of a concerted effort to achieve moderate alcohol, at 12.5% the Pichler 2012 Gruner Veltliner Federspiel Klostersatz is on the border of what would when that...
jamessuckling.com, 97 points: Wonderful aromas of lychee and citrus with some fresh herbs such as rosemary. Sweet figs, too. Full-bodied, richly fruit and incredibly mineral with slate and sliced pears. Some petrol as well. Flavorful and intense on...
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 Spectator, 92 points: Delivers light smoky notes to the ripe, plush flavors of candied ginger, baked yam and dried pear, balanced by crisp minerality. Complex and rich, with stony notes that mix well on the spicy, powerful finish. Drink now...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Pichlers’ 2012 Gruner Veltliner Smaragd M – mainly from Loibenberg, plus bits of Kellerberg, Liebenberg, Kollmutz and Muhlpoint – definitely shows the effect of Lucas Pichler’s decision to harvest earlier in recent years...
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...
Wine Spectator, 91 points: Ripe melon and marshmallow flavors dominate this juicy white, layered with ripe citrus and tropical fruit flavors. Creamy midpalate, with a finish of smoke and spice. Drink now through 2018. 20 cases imported. –KM
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...
