95+ The 2013 Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Wachstum Bodenstein is concentrated, deep and intense yet pure on the coolish fresh and flinty nose, with its lemon rind and some greenish notes on the complex bouquet that will open much more with aeration and show more apricot aromas. On the palate, this is an elegant, crystalline and seamlessly textured, very intense and aromatic, dense and juicy Veltliner with a beautifully fresh and elegant finish that displays lemon flavors and reveals a tight mineral structure and remarkable aging potential. Tasted in Weissenkirchen/Wachau in September 2019. - Stephan Reinhardt

Seductively smoky and rich, with concentrated flavors of baked pear, apple pastry, lemon verbena and cream that are lashed to a firm frame. Well-evolved, featuring a powerful spiciness that caresses the palate. The minerally finish is long and pure, delivering hints of pepper. Drink now through 2022.
