  tropical, and high level of dry extract, high botrytis, giving impressions of melon, red cherry, and a waxy texture. its got he weight and texture of so much phenolic extract that it could take the place of a red wine, but although it is absolutely dry it can come off as slightly confected because of the botrytis and full rounded body.

  Color: Light golden yellow
  Smell: white grapefruit, white pepper, pineapple, and a hint of new oak.
  Taste: Quince, cherimoya, green banana, then this offers up a panoply of rich tropical fruit notes that is difficult to put to words.
  Overall: This is a unique vision of Gruner...and it's one I think I like best in it's youth. Since the last time I've had this the wine has shifted from lean and elegant to bold and powerful! Medium body, high acidity, med+ fruit, and a long finish. Outstanding.

  At hotel Moar-Gut in Großarl/Austria. The first bottle was corked, but this second bottle was fine. 13.5% ABV. The wine was bright, medium yellow-golden in colour and offered ripe stone fruit aromas, grape, apple, white pepper and stony notes on the nose. On the palate the wine showed ripe stone fruit flavours, grape, apple, lemon zest, white pepper and stony notes, with medium-level acidity and very good length of the peppery and bitter finish. The full-bodied, ripe, fat and phenolic wine had good concentration and a very creamy mouthfeel, but lacked the freshness we typically like in our GVs. Not my preferred style of GV, and I wasn't able to wrap my head around the bitterness. Not a fan.
