Still very young, but so deep and complex on the nose, the aromas ranging from green beans to white chocolate via all colors of pepper. Concentrated and polished on the medium-bodied palate, the balance reminds me of the great vintages of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Sleek and focused finish with serious minerality. Drink or hold.

Picked on October 18 and macerated for four to six hours, the citrus-colored 2020 Dürnsteiner Grüner Veltliner Ried Kellerberg opens with a clear, pure and coolish, very elegant, spicy and slightly reductive nose of just-ripe fruits, saffron and crushed flint stones intermingled with crunchy phenolic notes. On the palate, this is a round and textured, very elegant Kellerberg with a deep, intense, elegant and finely tannic yet not really dramatic finish. This 2020 probably needs another two or three years to clear up and shine. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in September 2022.
