Domaine Charles Sparr
Tradition Alsace Gewürztraminer
Alsace, France
Very pretty candied, floral, Spicey, melon nose, however on the palate is just too sweet and dominates any potential acidity (which I find none of) and overwhelms the more aromatic and definitive characteristics that a well-made Gewürztraminer exhibits. Undefinable but unpleasant finish as well.

Small amount of residual sugar but hardly detectable. Lychee fruit driven and nice for the season

Quaffable Gewurz with perfume, fruit and acidity, but a bit simple and lacking any mineral notes to offset the floral sweetness.

Nov 20th, 2015This was a gift. A step higher sweetness level than I usually seek: "Demi-sec" is a conservative assignation. However, beautiful rosy-grapefruit finish, nice structure: beautiful pairing to spicy Thai noodle dish.

Aug 12th, 2015Slightly sweet with honeysuckle, apricot and pear. Would like a little more acidity but fairly classic.
