Michael, pretty sure it was bark, but I threw away before dinner tonight, and am not going to dig through garbage. :)

After being recorked and refrigerated, showed basically the same tonight (Sunday) as an apertif as Friday. But, a sip from glass after dinner (with wine warm) showed a little more green[ea/lentil character. Unfortunately, at room temp wine was a little flabby. Still, a decent wine for the price

Michael,

Was reading somewhere that the 2005 vintage in Austria was something of a disaster - volumes down 20-25% in some regions.

Mi e' parso che st.helier abbia scritto:

So much? Here in Italy it seems we will be 8% down, compared to the yields in 2004.

Absolutely not.

If you call that a desaster, then it is one.

But: better growers, selecting ever more severe, will produce even less of their top wines, but the wines are extrenmely promising, I was told. Haven't tasted any 2005s save for a couple of red(!) "Primus pannonikus" nouveaux. If one discounts the distance I try to hold in face of such vinous baby murdering, they weren't even bad.)
