You can hear the richness of this wine as you pour it. Then the richness, the sweetness and the intense acidity burst out of the glass. This is a superb sweet wine, its richness tempered by the concentrated honey and lemon flavor that Riesling does so well. Age for many years.——R.V.(8/1/2008)—— 94

More of Brundlmayer’s 2000 Riesling Heiligenstein Beerenauslese (as well as the 2000 Gruner Veltliner T.B.A on which I reported last year) is just being released and is lovely. With a concentrated T.B.A.-like nose of candied citrus, honey, peppermint, candied apricot, and vanilla and a deep color, one might expect a fat palate impression, but instead it is elegant, refined, subtly caramelized and honeyed, with notes of new barrel entirely supportive.Also reviewed 2005 Gruner Veltliner Kamptaler Terrassen ($21.00; 85), 2005 Gruner Veltliner Berg Vogelsang ($16.00; 85), 2005 Gruner Veltliner Alte Reben ($42.00; 86+?), 2005 Gruner Veltliner Kaferberg ($62.00; 86), 2005 Riesling Kamptaler Terrassen ($23.00; 85), 2005 Riesling Steinmassel ($30.00; 86), 2003 St. Laurent Ladner (unknown; 86).Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel.

This is a delicate wine, with intense sweetness. The dryness of the botrytis is there with apricot and honey flavors, along with great waves of piercing acidity. A wine to age.——R.V.(10/1/2006)—— 92
