Greenish color for supporting Mexico in this morning's World Cup fixture. Ok a Mexican beer would have been more appropriate but I know what I prefer. — 8 years ago

Always incredible. Still got that cut oat and rich Apple profile, but a more honeyed expression with the 10 years of bottle age. — 10 years ago

Starts off very Asian: roasted sesame, light soy, pork. Then apple, lime flowers, roach oak. Med high body with balanced high acidity. Oak and lime aftertaste. Layer apricot, oak, oat, pineapple cote, mango, light passion fruit. Still young. Want to try in two years. — 10 years ago

This is an excellent Other Half beer in terms of texture and flavor but the lactose is a little heavy for my taste. It doesn't have the balance of some of the others. But no complaints if you can find it! — 8 years ago

Gruner rather - intensely aromatic, authoritative from the get-go. Aromas burst from the glass displaying clove poached pears, green mango, butterscotch, honey oat and grapefruit marmalade. Ephemeral moments of feeling like oaked Chardonnay and intervals of feeling savoury and herbaceous. There's a lot going on. It's fresh, semi creamy, savoury, medium bodied and has energy and life to give. Focused, sense and just about 'jam-packed' full of flavor. It's rich, it's generous but turns a sharp corner and finishes long, dry and with serious minerality. There's more of a baked apple character to the palate certainly amongst poached pear, grapefruit and there's a feint nougat edge too. Probably one of my favourite Austrian Gruners I've had. Maybe not quite as rich or oaked as some, but this meets somewhere and the middle and they've just nailed it. — 9 years ago

Honey, baked pineapple, toffee apple, papaya & mango, elegant rather than opulent. Character in the mouth is rich, textured but still maintains freshness with grapefruit, pineapple and a touch of lemon pith. Great match with baked Mont d'Or, garlic & honey, oat cakes and sweet bell pepper — 10 years ago

This is a skin changer wine: one minute later smell completely different: dark plum, roasted hazel nuts, slightly stale white ground pepper, pencil shavings, cassis, burning candles, leather. Med body, nice length, med tannins. Prunes, touch cinnamon, laurel. Leather violets cherry palate. Followed by oat, cherry, plum. Hibiscus and tobacco in empty glass — 10 years ago

Cloudy dark brown color, toasted oat nose, slightly metallic toasted oat and rich fruit taste with perhaps a licorice finish. — 9 years ago

An oakey and buttery chardonnay, with some toasted marshmallow and lemon/oat bars. This is totally my "thing." The only drawback is that it goes down fast, and leaves me yearning for another bottle. NH Wine Store, buy again.
Update: So I did buy again, and I am getting very strong pineapple, with a little oak on the finish. Still yummy. — 9 years ago

9.4

Dried fruit. Dried nectarine. Macerated plumb. Decaying molded raspberries. Shoe polish. Muted attack leading into a fairly high acid mid. Very subtle and short tannins. Finish medium. Rare old Ridge, and a treat that. Retains so much fruit for being 23. Edit: So much more tobacco coming through at hour 2. Sexy. A MILF of a wine. — 9 years ago

Light yellow with tiny bubbles. Delicate toast and white flower aromas are followed by apple, mineral and toasted almond flavors. Nice acidity with a lingering, clean finish. Toasted oat aromas linger in the empty glass. Very complex. Enjoy this sparkler with food. Disgorged 2014. — 10 years ago

This wine gets me every time. All the honey and oat funk with beautiful pear and quince fruit wrapped around it. A textural wonder and still had years left to develop. I just couldn't wait any longer. — 11 years ago
