Well, I didn't mean to hold this so long, but it's actually holding up surprisingly well. Pretty much consistent with previous note, except there's not really any effervescence at this point. Not oxidized or tired though. A little soft and flabby, and our sushi takeout would have benefitted from some more acidity, but hey, not so bad, ya know?

Everything is pretty light with this wine--color, body, flavor, personality. It's ok, but the most interesting thing about it is the format (1L bottle w/ a bottle cap lid), which is kinda fun. Very light yellow color, with subtle aromas and flavors of lemon, lime, and mineral. Lightly frisante on the pop, medium acid, and light body and finish.

An enjoyable Gruner for sure. Love the 1L and cap bottling. Stone and floral notes on the nose. Nice body with pleasant slate and spice notes kept alive with moderate acidity. Finished a little short on the stone note, but a nice summer wine.

Light and crisp. Melon and tropical fruits. Very easy to drink. Moderate acidity on the finish. Drink now.

Very light. Not much going on with this Gruner. Almost flavorless.
