Not sure I'd recognize it blind as Gruner but I like it. Lots of ripe fruit with a touch of tropicality matched with plenty of acidity. An easy and meritorious pleasure.

Sweet Cheeks Q. Dry but lots of fruit. At this point not a lot of cress or pepper to typify Gruner, but a very pleasing mouthful of wine that would go with many foods. Drink or hold.

Semi-reminiscent of riesling, with sweet fruit balanced by tangy acidity. Nice stone fruit, pineapple, melon. This is one of the better gruner's I've ever had, and also one of the more expensive ones.

Rich golden color with mellow aromas of orange pith and fennel. Wonderfully viscous palate that kicks off with a wall of ripe tangerine flavors backed with creamy honeysuckle notes. The initial opulence is then nicely balanced in the mid palate with more structured and grainy elements of apricot streaked with anise. The finish is impressively long and perfectly combines sweeter tropical notes of pineapple and mango with stony minerality. Would highly recommend drinking now.

(Schloss Gobelsburg Grüner Veltliner Reserve Steinsetz) Light green-tinged yellow color; focused, tart green apple, mineral nose; tasty, tart green fruit, lime, mineral palate; medium finish 88+ points
(Schloss Gobelsburg Grüner Veltliner Steinsetz) ($33.00) Swollen aromas, less severely snappy than the rather strict ’09; in fact it smells like Renner. The minty spice returns to the palate, even with a slight phenolic nip. But this is a birthday cake of Steinsetz, loaded with fruit so thick you barely notice the minerality – and the reverse is also true! Certainly the most lavish vintage of this wine since Michi took over.
