Hirsch 的 2010 年份的 Gruner Veltliner Heiligenstein 平衡了該年份適度的 6.5 克酸和 Austria（不是 Hirsch）出奇高的 6 克殘余糖分（這種甜味本身是不可以嘗到的）。散發(fā)著如 Riesling 般的酸橙、葡萄柚和大黃氣息?？诟卸嘀?，帶有水芹、鹽、碎石和白胡椒風(fēng)味。此酒充滿活力，相當(dāng)引人注意，但是質(zhì)地有點(diǎn)纖瘦，至少是現(xiàn)在。我預(yù)期此酒至少在未來 6 年內(nèi)仍令人興奮。

Hirsch’s 2007 Gruner Veltliner Heiligenstein features lentil and green bean with a slightly grassy and floral overtone. Bright and tart, yet silken in texture, cool and soothing on the palate, this well-concentrated Veltliner then finishes with tactile bite of lavender and white pepper. Deep notes of tobacco, nut oils, and wet stone well up as the wine opens, and this should make for fine and versatile drinking over the coming 5-6 years. Johannes Hirsch was already done harvesting in 2007 on October 8 (after starting September 13), not far behind the Nikolaihof. And there is another connection with that venerable estate which may or may not be vital: Hirsch has been passionately pursuing a biodynamic path. I did manage to get a smile out of him when I suggested that he consider replacing the pile of cow horns he had accumulated with much rarer and surely more efficacious antlers of elk (Hirsch). “The clusters were beautifully golden-yellow, perfect,” he relates, so there was no need to wait, which meant missing out on the mid-October rains.Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel.
