I don’t have a lot of experience with gruner. Maybe I should seek this out more often because the apple honey thing was a delight. I know some of these can age. Anyone have any insight as to what the evolution is for one that has say 10+ yrs on it?

2015. Delightful fruit up front leads to a smoky, minerally finish. Screaming, bracing, zippy acidity from start to finish. Bliss Imports is two for two this week. 12.5% abv.

Lovely balanced acidity, minerality and light white fruits. Great with thai food or Singaporean chicken rice!

At $14 I could not resist trying a bottle from such a great vintage! Pleasantly surprised.

Pale straw, med viscosity. Apple, pear, citrus lemon, cilantro. Sweet, low acid, low alcohol, pear finish. Not complex.
