Brundlmayer's 2006 Gruner Veltliner Alte Reben is stuffed with apples, sage, fennel, and black pepper and dripping with juices like some little, honey-glazed game bird coming out of the oven. Think of it as one of those cases of Gruner Veltliner-meets-Chablis, as there is palpable chalkiness here, too. Ester-filled, rich, yet refined, this finishes long on mineral, animal, and herbal nuances. The 2002 - which was re-released eighteen months ago (and reviewed in Issue 166) - is even better today. Count on enjoying this 2006 anytime over the next decade. Score - 91. (David Schildknecht, www.erobertparker.com, June 2008)
