FALSTAFF: "Mittleres Grüngelb, Silberreflexe. Rauchig-würzig unterlegte reife gelbe Fruchtnuancen, zart nussiger Touch, feiner Blütenhonig im Hintergrund. Komplex, stoffig, reife gelbe Frucht, cremiger Körper, feine salzige Nuancen im Abgang, mineralisch und anhaltend, weiße Frucht im Nachhall, Potenzial für viele Jahre."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "From the latest harvest pass and the oldest vines, though no botrytis yet highly ripe and overripe grapes, the 2018 Grüner Veltliner Smaragd M is very concentrated and intense but clear and elegant on the slightly flinty nose. Sourced in the Kellerberg, Loibenberg Liebenberg and the terraced western part of the Kollmütz, this is a lush and rich, very intense yet elegant Veltliner with lots of power but also remarkable finesse and lingering salinity on the finish. Drinking this wine young is ridiculous and a waste of its talents and potential greatness. Although I don't know where the wine going from here I suppose it will develop very well over the next 10 years. The 2018, unlike the other Smaragd vines, was destemmed, macerated for up to 24 hours and 50% fermented in large (25 hectoliter) oak vats, and the lees were stirred once per month. Bottled in August 2019 and tasted at the domain in September."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Tons of baked herbs here, ranging from rosemary to oregano to thyme. Then come opulent aromas of peaches, apricots and apples. Full-bodied and structured with a chewy core of tannins and stone fruit. Long and very muscular. A big, bold style of gruner. Drink now."
