Two and half weeks after harvesting his Piri bottling, Nigl returned to pick the 2007 Gruner Veltliner Privat. Bittersweet floral perfume and herbal concentrate in the nose lead to a (for this site) surprisingly low-toned palate of malt, nut oils, honey, and pan drippings. Yet there is a cool side to this soothing, 14% alcohol Veltliner, which finishes with memorable meaty, resinous, and honeyed depth. What a contrast Nigl-s two pickings from the Piri make this year. Why not try setting some of this one aside, too, for up to a decade? Score - 93. (David Schildknecht, erobertparker.com, Feb. 2009)
