Tasting - Green Eyes

Name: Green Eyes 
Variety: Gruner Veltliner
Country: Austria
Year: 2013

Wine Review: This is an attractive and fragrant wine, bursting with fresh pear and apple flavors. It’s laced with the hallmark Grüner touch of pepper and finished with refreshing acidity. -87 points Wine Enthusiast

My review: This was quite a refreshing wine.  I immediately picked up on a sour green apple fragrance. That was the main component in smell.  After trying it, I noticed this fizzy or grainy mouthfeel.  This was a little unexpected but didn't take away from the wine at all.  This bottle finished with a nice crisp light fruit finish, possibly grapefruit.  But then there was something hanging out on the after palette that I couldn't quite place.  

I had this wine without food.
