I'm conflicted here. I mean, this is the Platonic Grüner dialed up to 11. All the white pepper, pea shoot, stone fruit and phenolic bitterness you could want. Amazing richness, depth and complexity. But man, it was almost work to enjoy it after my initial taste. Maybe in time this mellows and loosens up, maybe it always stays a 20lb sledgehammer. Lord knows it's got the material to go either way.

Amazing purity and balance (especially with 13% alcohol!). Racy acidity, with herbal absinthe-like notes on the palate. More please!

Top echelon of Gruner for me. River water, spring blooms. Crystalline and pure.

A very delicious Grüner, refreshing and rich at the same time. I was told it has an “unctuous” texture—maybe something to that description.
