THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2007 Gruner Veltliner Smaragd M – coming largely from the Loibeneberg, but like the corresponding Kellerberg having been harvested late in November and early in December – features mango, maracuja, apricot, and black fruits in a ripely-scented, lush melange which suggests honeyed richness and sweetness on account of its glycerin, botrytis, and sheer extract. Hints of tobacco, mint, and pepper add to a voluminous, low-toned impression and a finish that remains sappy and satisfying. This should be worth following for at least 5-7 years."

WEINWISSER: "Der Wein, der mir persönlich in diesem Flight am wenigsten gefiel. Reife gelbe und exotische Frucht, viel Wumms im Duft und am Gaumen, mit deutlicher Botrytisausprägung und Extraktsüße, wirkte nach dem sehr trockenen Joly-Wein einfach etwas «braver » und restsüßer. Hatte es schwer in diesem Flight."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Concentrated ripe peach and Fuji apple flavors fill this well-balanced Grüner. Rich, spicy notes linger on the juicy finish. Drink now through 2012. 45 cases imported."
