Tonight with a late dinner of leftovers, Jean selected to open:
2006 Schloss Gobelsburg "Gobelsburger" Grüner Veltliner
color: green-gold nose: effusive minerals, green pea with a touch of honey palate: rich, mouthfilling, good minerality, decent acidity, loads of fruit and a hint of honey
Wow! This is my first encounter with the '06 GV vintage, and if this wine is any indication this is going to be a year to follow. Having read Michael Pronay's comments re '06, I am now more inclined than ever to not write them off as overexuberence. Very worth the price at $12.59 (with case discount).
