Nice gewurztraminer, a varietal I drink less now after becoming more focused on acidity in recent years. I think we actually bought this on a trip to Alsace a number of years ago. Very good pairing with braised pork shoulder in a sort of chile verde. Quite amber in the glass and nose, excellent depth and richness on the palate with a bit of sweetness.

Jan 3rd, 2022Stunning shimmering golden color & classic Gewurz nose of lychee & rose hips, quince, some green garden funk, hint of spice, just a lovely nose - silky viscous luxurious texture on palate but a little tired & over the hill - drying out on finish. This is like a old champion boxer who still can move those hands & dance around the ring, but far from peak form.
