Buttered toast, citrus, vegetal, spice, blue cheese which leads on to a musty but not unclean finish. Lovely mature qualities and lengthy finish. (RH)

Hirtzberger's 1990 Smaragd Honivogl is one of the finest Gruner Veltliners I've ever tasted. It has a nose that reveals expressive fennel-laden minerals. Its clay, mineral, as well as pear flavors are ensconced in a rich, concentrated, deep, and bone dry personality. This powerful behemoth possesses an exceptionally long and pure finish. Drink it over the next 6-7 years.
