  Medium yellow. Tart to start but the gains some creaminess and herbal flavor interest.

  Pale straw colour (which is really deep for Gruner). Really rich on nose and palate as well. There was some seepage on this bottle, but I don't really smell any oxidation. Caraway, baked pear, melon, and white floral nose with a leesy note too. This is a really ripe example of Gruner. There is some fine delineation and precision here despite the richness (lots of extract, almost waxy and Savennieres like). Lingering and expansive finish with a bright lime note. Medium level of acidity. Outstanding and unique. However, those looking for a more typical bracing style might be a little disappointed.
