Wow! Exploding with tropical fruits but with a flinty/smokey mineral backbone. Have had these older but this was better younger — 2 days ago

Layers upon layers. Cherries, tar, smoke. Both masculine and light on its feet. Excellent stuff. — 4 months ago

A bit disappointing. Full bodied and rich, but lacking anything to distinguish it. — 4 months ago

Big 18 sunshine nose. Violets, mulch and spice. Some nice sweet wood as well. But just enormous spice. Very Fruh. Palate is so elegant and full of violets and wonderful inner mouth florals. Really nice opulent texture and just floats. Let’s see what air does. After air this gets more linear and gains edge and energy. Really different now than when it was p and p. — 6 months ago

Viognier-esque bitterness, Riesling-esque fruit, Burgundy minerality. A chameleon but still quintessential Gruner. The toffee notes and golden hue screams Smaragd. — 2 months ago

Clean, clear, harmonious, albeit slightly forgettable.
Expected more from this producer, TBH. — 5 months ago
