Pretty floral notes. Glycerin palate. Pink and peachy with a bit of sweet. Lacks a little cut. Yum

Stone fruit, lemon curd, Sauternes, ginger ale.. enough funk to be interesting. Not for beginners.

Tantalizing and powerful aromatics with body and structure to match. Complex and delicious.

Consistent with other notes here. Says 13.5% but I get some RS. Put this in a blind white Rhône tasting.

A little more residual sugar then I expected. Still drinking well and is a classic Gewurz.
