Bold, rich and ripe, showing unctuous and complex flavors of peach cobbler, baked apple and dried pear, flanked by notes of dried mango and pineapple. Features crème brûlée hints midpalate, with dried apricot and golden raisin details lingering on the finish. Drink now through 2022. – KM

The Knoll 2012 Gruner Veltliner Smaragd Loibenberg delivers an alliance of sweet pea with rich, cardamom and nutmeg-tinged peachy fruit that is characteristic of this bottling in ripe vintages. A hint of stone serves as a fascinating counterpoint in a polished, sustained, very slightly warm finish. Plan to follow this through 2025 and anticipate some further complexity emerging from today’s already impressive performance. - David Schildknecht
