2018 Gruner Veltliner Lamm

Bründlmayer's iconic, radiant, dark golden-yellow 2018 Grüner Veltliner Ried Lamm 1ÖTW displays a deep, pure, fresh and flinty, even slightly floral yet concentrated, intense and spicy, still untamed and darker-toned bouquet of crushed stones, yellow stone fruit and herbs. Lush, round and intense but pure and mineral on the crystalline palate, this is a full-bodied and tight, very concentrated and powerful Lamm with lively lemon freshness encountering phenolic and mineral elements. This is a sleeping giant and needs time, but it is among the most impressive Veltliners of the vintage. 14.5% alcohol. Tasted three times: at Schloss Grafenegg, at the domain in September 2019 and at home in October.
