The nice thing about tasting a bunch of Gruner Veltliner is how it really gets you into the GruVe. Get it? I hope not, it was terrible, which is the complete opposite of this wine which is absolutely fantastic. The nose is kind of throwing me through a loop, since it's developed this very slight in the background cocoa nib kind of note that is at the very end and doesn't interfere with the rest, but is worth noting because of how eccentric it feels, but also how enjoyable it is. The rest of the nose is normal, light stone fruit, little bit of lemony citrus. The palate is clean with a really nice depth and just a touch of pithy notes on the finish which will help it pair, but it also has a great line of acidity so it's just good on top of good. This is just such a friendly but slightly off kilter wine, it's just exceptional.
