Well I waited more than a year before opening another of this, what has changed? more depth more fuit coming through and better integrated. Still not right up there for me and don't see it reaching the top slot, has a slightly sickly sweet edge which spoils it somewhat but who knows if this will turn round further.

Seriously good, the best of a mini line up of 2007s tasted together. Has that extra kick of flavour intensity and depth with a subtle creaminess to warrant an outstanding score.

Feel like this really showed well tonight, lots of sweet lemons, pineapple, tangerine, guava, honey and some interesting minerals on display, really rich and generous mouthfeel with high acidity preventing any cloying, finishing really bright and fresh

Not convinced at the moment by this, was given ample open bottle time plus time in the glass and was revisited the following day, it opened up a bit but was still over acidic at the end which tended to hide the fruit that was there. Grunhauser went through a dip in quality during the nineties but has emerged back to its former glory days at the present time, this wine may be going through a sleep stage or maybe not, another bottle in a year will give the answer I think.

Once again glorious and little sign of impending doom, as opposed to my previous bottle. Definitely no rush.
