Not as developed as the half bottle of Smaragd a few weeks ago. This is still lively, though again missing the snap of green notes or a lot of fruit. It is mostly mushy fruits and some savory earthy/mineral aromas and flavors. Texturally a bit oily and medium plus bodied with a bit of alc heat.

Jul 5th, 2022Pulled this to pair with a mushroom, pea shoot and ricotta pasta dish.
Pale to medium yellow. Nose offers stone dust, kumquat zest and orange fruit. Savory on the palate w additional vegetal tones blooming there, pretty distinctly NOT fruity at this point of development.

Lots of fresh mineral on the nose with hints of rounded mellow fruit. A lot of depth, but very soft flavor with a mellow spicy peppery finish. It tastes like it was still fast asleep. After a couple days the peppery fruit started coming forward more. Maybe needs time. But how much I don’t know. There is a lot there but it’s so faint at times.

Awesome minerality and acidity. A bouquet of flavors: flowers, honeyed almonds, white pepper, lemons.

Linear Hirtzbirger, this is a tight Federspiel that drops a lot of Gruner character in beams of acidity. Notes of hay, sweet lemons, and stone minerality, complex and elegantly tense. #gruner #vacationresearch
