  Wow, this was an absolutely spectacular bottle. Tasted next to the 2016 Michel Bouzereau Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières 2016 (a wine and producer I adore), this totally stole the show.
  Deep golden color, explosive notes of apricot, ripe yellow fruit, some flowery notes of camomile, also pepper, candied red beets, alkaline, honey, some marine seaweedy kind of thing, tons of minerality. Overall, there is umami and richness, also a certain muskiness and it’s almost oily in texture. It‘s medium-full bodied, oily and rich, but with also a nice medium acidity that is providing a counterpoint to the richer mouthfeel. There is so much mid-palate persistence here, but without any heaviness. Long complex finish with layer over layer of flavor and complexity. This might be one of the very best and most exciting GrüVes I have ever had. Stunning wine and shockingly good at this stage. This was somewhere around 30 - 35 bucks when I bought it, it might be one of the very best QPRs in ageworthy white wines I have had.

  This Grüner Veltliner is deep golden. On the nose there are very pronounced aromas of dried apricot, ripe nectarine and pineapple, little banana, wet stone, honey, caramel. On the palate the flavors are also very pronounced and similar to the nose. The acidity is medium(+) and very well integrated. The body is medium. This wine is extremely well balanced. The finish is never ending. What a great wine! Glass I used: Zalto Universal

  A beautiful Grüner Veltliner. The last time we enjoyed this wine was some 6 or 7 years ago. It still has this amazing balance, but shows first signs of age and oxidation. The ripe oxidized apple fruit and the touch of vanilla oak give this a bit of an excellent aged white Burgundy character now. Continues to be a great wine. I would recommend to drink within the next 2-3 years though. - 94 points
