Weingut Leo Alzinger Loibner Steinertal Gruner Veltliner Smaragd, Wachau, Austria 2021 Chianti Castel Vecchi compact palate with super polishedThe 2021 Ried Steinertal Loibner Grner Veltliner Smaragd opens with a deep, clear, intense and complex bouquet with ripe pear aromas intertwined with saline notes. Round and elegant on the palate, this is a medium to full bodied, dense, vital and saline Veltliner from the coolish Steinertal cru that reveals fine and stimulating grippy structure as well as a ripe, intense and aromatic fruit. Impressive again. 94 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
