Lots of wine for just two people: Nose of over-ripe white fruits veering into the annoying chemical zone. Thick, unctuous and sloppy on the palate. Firmed slighty with some limestone notes and a bit of spice, but never gained precision or pleasure. Disappointing.

Random dinner notes (Columbus, OH): Uncharacteristically ripe pear and rich tropical fruit nose. Some background mineral notes. A noticeable alcoholic bite. A spicy white peppery finish might be the only thing Gruner about this. Full-bodied but at the expense of focus and precision. Not awful, but a relative let-down.

overly sweet and feels a little grassy and no depth.

F.X. Pichler Winery Visit (2004 Vintage) (FX Pichler Winery, Oberloiben, Wachau Valley, Austria): This was the only non2004 wine poured. Rich in minerality but it seemed low in acidity. It had a band aid/medicinal taste at the present time. My least favorite of the wines poured and a far cry from the much superior 2004. 85-86 points.
