After having tasted 1,790 Austrian wines in the last four weeks -
among these 1,170 from the vintage 2005 -, I can assure you that
I'd rate 2005 at least as good as 2004. It was a difficult year
(as was 2004), but in the top ranks the wines are even better than
in 2005, with a vibrant, singing fruit that makes the top wines
utterly stunning.
