Different fruits with every smell. Delineated palate with crazy acid streak. Wow.

Ursprungstypisk och druvtypisk. Riktigt potent. Tropisk med fin beska i eftersmaken. Kommer utvecklas bra under många år.

Glints of green. Smoky apples. Not quite petrol. Limey citrus start to finish, but lacking a bit in the mid. Tasty but ready now, don’t think it has a lot more to show later.

Pretty high octane but hard to argue with the amount of tropical fruit aromas and general richness and depth. Maybe *slightly* hot. But always good to try new things over time.

“The best Gruner in the world”

Gruner is a crazy ass grape, and I drink the low cost liters like they’re water.

But when it’s done on a world class level it’s such an understatedly intense wine - WIDTH in your mouth, like taste it from every corner. A very different finish than you’d find in a French Chardonnay.

Cool to try. Appreciate the experience, and for $50 it’s rare to be able to taste one of the best around.
