No formal notes. The wine lost some of its crispy freshness and is a bit fat. Probably wiser not to wait too long, because in its youth it is a beauty.

Beautifully floral, like walking through a spring meadow. Really lovely to breathe in. The palate (peach, mineral, pepper) was not quite up to the aromas or to the extraordinary flavors experienced in a recent bottle of the 2006. Very good, but a slight bitter note on the finish left me wanting just a bit more from this. Still a great wine from one of my favorite sites in Austria.

Not your average GV- fuller body and mouthfeel, with excellent complexity raises the bar for the everyday GV. Yes the effervescent mineral tongue dance lives here, but so does a deeper sense of the varietal. Nice compliment to broiled fresh whole bonito.

A great evening with close friends (@ PZ): Expressive refined and creamy bouquet. Complex and beautiful balance between citrus acidity and oak and much more. Still so young.

Full bodied, spicy and minerals. Good acidity.

Occasional tasting with PZ and JvT: Nebbiolo plus some extra's. (@ PZ): Beautiful wine! A lot of fresh tastes, but also a little pleasant sweetness. Citrus, green apples, spices. Really really nice. Already great, but it can probably age a few years as well.

BBQ Elvin Sandy and gang -- a big, huge, almost chard-like white today. But with the telltale Gruner white pepper and lime.

Complex. Minerals. Apples. Not much words this time. Just that it is a beatiful wine.

Lucy BDAY party, loaded with white pepper and zesty lime. Has a bit of an effervescence and a juicy lime element. Unique wine!

Nice and dry. Lemony, acidic, green apples, pears, long finish. Excellent Gruner.
