Can’t imagine paying $100+ for this, but it is a viscous, layered, tropical stunner. Pineapple and apricot spread to every corner of the palate with a long, luxurious finish. Teriyaki glazed pork? Soup dumplings? What to pair this with? Awesome wine with another fifteen years ahead of it. — 4 years ago

Winner of recent Gru-V tasting. Impressive. Chardonnay-like creaminess with the zing of GV. — 10 years ago
About 3 years since my last bottle. This is fantastic now. On the nose: ripe peach, soft yeast, dense honeysuckle, soft petrol..so floral and intense. Fantastic acidity, and amazing density, lemon oil, peach, honey, then dripping with mineral intensity...wet stone, mineral oil, and the fruit recedes, only to reappear as soft lemon on the finish. Absolutely lovely. — 3 years ago

Lemon citrus smell, nutty taste, creamy texture... yes and it is in Le Bernardin — 6 years ago
Beautiful deep aromas of beeswax with notes of ripe melon and candied ginger. Full, rich, creamy and slightly off-dry on the palate. Citrus and tropical fruit fill the mouth followed by deep, gripping minerality and a touch of spice. — 9 years ago
Pure essence of GV. Fresh, intensive with floral and fruits aromas. A bit of minerality and papper. — 10 years ago
Wowzah!!! — 10 years ago
Exotic and sweet. Perfect with the sea bream at per se — 11 years ago
Fresh and vibrant. That prickle of false effervescence. Stone fruit and melon rind with that unmistakable Gruner viscosity. White pepper. Snow peas. It’s good, but tough to justify above $30. — 4 years ago
One of the most profound & satisfying gruner’s I’ve had. Notes of white pear, daffodils, green peas, white pepper, with floral and almost marzipan qualities all come together harmoniously & dance on the tongue & drives home with an intense mineral backbone. Beautiful. — 5 years ago
