An explosion of pink grapefruit announces the arrival of this enormous wine. This has titanic concentration and also some alcohol. An extremely long finish that's very silky. Drink or die!

The 2015 Loibner Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Vinothekfülllung is clear and intense on the nose, very ripe, bit still precise and smoky in its white-fruit aromas. Full-bodied, rich and elegant this is a velvet-textured wine with a lot of power and a bit of bitter flavors in the finish.
