Yellow, very healthy looking for its age. I am dreadfully bad at describing Gruner's aromas, but I get some citrus and herb here. Supremely elegant weight for a Smaragd with some glycerine developing as it warms. Bitter orange, outstanding acidity and freshness, moderately long soil finish. Excellent with more time ahead of it.

(Weingut Knoll Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Ried Schütt) Light golden yellow color; pineapple, ripe apple, ripe peach nose; tangy, tart green apple, tart peach, mineral, chalk, chewy palate; medium finish (I like the label art, which reminds me of a Mexican vigil or novena candle)

Nice and rich, but the primary fruit here is beginning to fade.
