Parker about Unendlich Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Magnum 2017
Vinified in 500-liter French oak barrels for 18 months and bottled in May 2019, the 2017 Grüner Veltliner Unendlich is the first release since the (botrytized) 2003 and entirely based on super ripe and overripe but healthy grapes. The wine is clear, deep, bright and complex on the spicy Burgundian nose with aromas of white-pepper berries. Rich, sweet and elegant on the palate, this is a highly elegant mineral and tensioned Veltliner of great class and style. The finish is immense, very long and displays very fine tannins and great, persistent structure. This is the greatest GV I have tasted in my life. It's massive, yes, but full of tension, grip and expression. Sourced in the cooler sites of the Kellerberg and Liebenberg. Total production: 2,000 liters. Tasted at the domain in September 2019.

The Unendlich Grüner Veltliner Smaragd 2018 from FX Pichler is an outstanding wine from the renowned Wachau region, known for its precise craftsmanship and excellent terroir. This Smaragd, the highest classification in the region, comes from the estate's best vineyards and showcases Grüner Veltliner at its finest.

Subtle spices and mineral elements, typical of the Wachau region, also emerge. On the palate, the Unendlich Grüner Veltliner Smaragd 2018 is powerful yet elegant. The acidity is lively and supports the fresh, fruity aromas, while the saline minerality lends the wine impressive depth. The finish is long and precise, leaving a delicate, almost saline note.
This wine is both powerful and expressive in its youth, yet also has great aging potential, allowing it to evolve and reveal even more nuances over the years.
