2017 Süd-Steiermark Sauvignon Blanc trocken "Privat", Styria/Steiermark, Austria

Solid, concentrated, woody-spicy and clearly vegetal nose with aromas of ripe white and yellow fruits, ethereal notes, a hint of coconut, floral and herbal traces and quite clear minerality in the background. Very ripe, warm, concentrated, sweetish fruit, a lot of melting and delicate touch on the palate, certain warmth, spicy aromas and nutty as well as slightly toasty wood notes, again a bit of coconut in the background, lasting, good depth, hinted red berries, also a hint of dried fruit, mineral tones in the background, still very young, a bit of the old-fashioned, broader, warmer style, but impressive in its own way and with plants for decades rather than years of ripeness, long, complex, warm and spicy finish.

Best to drink: Bis 2040+. What our ratings mean
