Just past it's prime. Still interesting but beginning to thin out. Lots of licorice and tertiary aromas of mushroom, soy/umami, earth and slight hint of aldehyde. Enjoyable but wishing we had opened it a year or two ago. Half bottle of 1999 vintage. — 8 years ago

So tightly wound, but starting to open up after 30 min in the glass. Wish I had another bottle to open in another year or 2... — 10 years ago

@Brian Mast - 2nd interesting Gruner I've had since Jay was born. Doing my research! Had a 2007 kamptal Gruner that we brought back from Austria the other night. Lots of exciting ideas to discuss!

Honeysuckle, white peach, tarragon, pea shoots. Pale, near water white. Complex, medium body, high acidity, lengthy finish. Not overly ripe, but enough fruit to balance the varietal green character. Lovely. — 9 years ago

@Brian Mast , we should taste this one together. I think stylistically this is a good place for us to aim...

Sandalwood and red fruits. Slightly reductive tone, but very food friendly. Lots of acid and tannin. Eaten with duck confit meat pie and coulotte steak and paired well with both — 10 years ago
