The Jamek 2006 Zeigelt Mittelbergen (incorporating a dollop of St. Laurent) displays a black cherry nose of lovely purity, with hints of flowers and cinnamon spice adding interest on the palate and a spicy finishing pungency. I would enjoy it over the next couple of years. Hans Altmann indicated to me that he was considering discontinuing this cuvee, but that would be a shame, as it has often been distinctively delicious, and far more affordable than his “bigger” but not always better “triple-J” bottling. After witnessing as a customer first hand last year the virtual absence of any remaining wine under 13% alcohol in the wonderful Jamek restaurant (and that was only in late June), it was a relief to know that 2007 provided a goodly supply. That said, as is often the case at this address – and this year even at Federspiel level – botrytis was a frequent and at times less than felicitous influence.Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel.
