2003 Nigl Gruner Veltliner Kemstel Freheight

Unfortunately like the Brundlmeyer, this Gruner is a little lacking. I am used to very high end Gruner. Not to sound snobby, but the Nigl Privat and Nigl Alte Reben are far superior to this vineyard. I do not know if it is the age or vintage - usually Gruners age like great burgundy.

Watered down, somewhat bitter and flaborious.

A little flabby and watered down. Not as good as their rieslings! Although it is their entry level Gruner, so I won't be too harsh.

This German (I think) Gruner was ordered blind because it was on a post off. I didn't realize it was a liter bottle for $7! A big boy, with a beer top cap, so you have to drink it all in a sitting.

I found it really dry with hunts of grass and dried apricot. Sam, Bill Jamie and I had dinner at BONDA to make up for the cancelled wine dinner and tried a few different wines.

Bill's comment: I don'y know much about wine, but it doesn't taste like anything.
Sam's comment: It isn't horrible.

We love this wine, but, again, no one ever orders it. We cracked a bottle, but it was corked.

Bummer.
