Honeysuckle, acacia blossoms, and stones can be discerned in the aromatics of the 1999 Gruner Veltliner Smaragd Honivogl. This tobacco, cedar, and mineral-flavored wine has gorgeous definition, precision, and focus. It is medium-bodied, silky-textured, and possesses a long, flavorful finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2008. Importer: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700.
Pear, snap pea, iris and honeysuckle enter a highly aromatic alliance here. Glossy and smooth in texture, a persistent florality and pungent minerality into a finish of spectacular length and completeness. Harvested over the last three days in November, this is the consummate example of one of the Wachau consistently greatest wines.
