There's an uncanny similarity between the tasting notes of this wine with that of the 15' Overnoy Poulsard I had a couple of years ago, which leads me to believe that vinification or in particular, biological factors, may be the grand architect of these wines.

Pours out with an orangey hue of red. Reductive smokey aromas, followed by dried roses, twigs and grass, tabacco, dried herbs, and earth. The palate felt a little simple and short - cherries and grass, on a bitter, high acid finish.

So armed with lessons from previous Delienne openings, the wine went back into the cooler for an overnight dose of slow-release oxygen. This was when it took a unexpected turn towards the Poulsard memory. Cherries and grass had turned into the distinctive blood orange and tea notes. A slight acetic note arose, which integrated well with the palate giving a rather savory impression. A peculiar chicken essence note was especially memory-inducing. I felt like it put on some weight too, with a lovely silky texture. It's an oddball for sure, but not an unwelcomed transformation, as you see, the aforementioned Poulsard was my engagement tipple. — 4 years ago

Even though this wine is non-vintage, I understand that all the grapes come from 2019. This is a very dry, mineral driven sparkler, that settles relatively quickly, but gosh it’s very unique. The nose is a combination of white stone fruits, a hint of apricot, underripe tangerine, and an underlying funky, vegetal note I couldn’t quite put my finger on. At first, it comes off as pure minerals, with a rich, mouth filling texture and notes of wet stones. Eventually though, this amber colored beauty opens into tart yellow and white fruits, a bold lingering acidity, and some tart citrus on the lingering finish. Very refreshing and an enjoyable brunch or early afternoon pour. — 5 years ago

Easy going down; herbal and racy aperitif red. Reductive for sure but fun for the geeky. Hard to tell vintage differences. — 6 years ago

Needs a little time to sing. I wasn't really digging the wine when it was first opened. Felt too ripe and rich, especially when compared with the Overnoy. But with air, the Grusse really started showing itself.

Stunning texture and density. Still shows its richness, especially on the mid-palate, but balanced by piercing acidity and lengthy chalkiness. Really toasty and nutty, baked apples, lemon zest, kinda creamy, saline, oyster shell. It's really quite beautiful. Pity there wasn't any left for day 2. — 7 years ago

Hipster, cult, whatever. Is spicy, concentrated, deeply funky, delicious. Reminds me of overnoy trousseau with more structure and concentration. — 9 years ago

We learned about the Overnoy at Four Horseman too late but this was more than suffice. Great acid and some mellon and pear. Perfect compliment with summer eggplant and sun golds. — 10 years ago

Väldigt spännande smakbild, hamnar nånstans mellan omogna jordgubbar och utspädd sherry. Fint smutt som varar länge. Bonden och vinet. — 5 years ago

This is ridiculous. What a nose. Also the “other” Overnoy. Nose of hay, cherries, spice, animal and feral. So good. So Pinot. So hypnotizing. Palate is so dope. Concentrated, juicy and so elegant. Amazing purity and so so focused. This is brilliant. What a long finish and lithe, ethereal with impressive and admiral ripe fruit. Ripe but juicy tannins. So long. An amazing Pinot Noir. — 6 years ago
