The second of two half bottles I got dirt cheap years ago; the first I consumed nine years previous! Surprisingly in still pretty good knick: warm gold in the glass, some petrol on the nose; nutty and mineral, fairly dry, just a hint of some fruit, moderate acid, palate coating.

Super deal on this little half-bottle. Our first older Gruner (if you could call that old). A lot of aromatics and petrol on the nose, lush, mouth coating and rich with abundant tropical type fruit, minerality. Excellent by itself, better with some spicy food.

Showing very well for a 2003. Lots of vibrancy here, and typical Gruner aromatics and flavors. No alcoholic heat, and plenty of back end palate interest. Still more of a quaffer, but a very nice one.

This is a rockin' good time. And I mean that literally, as there are lots of rocks in here to go along with copious fruit. I could quibble about the alcohol, but I am drinking it a bit warm, so I won't. This is just an awesome mouthfull of Gruner!
