The wine was reduced from about $29 to $21. After all the talk
in here over the last few months, I had to pick up a couple of
GVs to try. This is the only one I haven't been able to find
any info about on the Parker or Spectator sites.

Schreiberberg is not one of Jamek's classic bottlings, his
flagships being Achleiten (for Veltliner) and Klaus (for
Riesling). But being a smaragd I would really be confident.

Any info would appreciated, like is this old for a GV or is this
going to be dry.

Superb vintage, definitely not old (if stored cool, of course).
Smaragds have to be dry, btw. "Dry" in the EU sense, which means a
maximum of 9 g/l (0.9 percent) of residual sugar.
