Medium lemon color with developing aromas of rose petal, ginger, lychee, pear and nectarine. Dry, low acidity, medium body, medium alcohol with pronounced flavors of wet stone, lychee, rose petal, ginger and honey. Drink now – it’s already at its peak.

It was in amazingly solid shape for a 33-year-old AC Gewurtz. Good light yellow color, super dry, and lots of spicy floral delicate flavors and more at room temp. Bravo.

Classic Alsatian Gewürztraminer. Ginger and clove spice with tropical fruit and a hint of minerality. Fresh, dry finish.

We've tasted this in class before... Last time it was LAST and I HATED it. Today we STARTED with it AND paired with Chinese food, and it was a totally different experience. On it's own I still get those peroxide/cold cream notes, but the salty food seems to mask that.

Very clean varietally iconic characteristics. Indigenous yeasts, long natural fermentation, large Alsatian oak casks, long lees contacts, hand picked and sorted, whole cluster, gravity sedimentation. MW

Floral, spicy, honeysuckle. Insanely good.

Really nice, quite dry given this estate's reputation of leaving RS in the wine should the vintage warrant it. Nice lychee, spice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a real mineral driven finish. Excellent wine, I actually think it could use a touch of sugar to bring out the fruit if I were a perfectionist, but a damn fine wine.

Tons of honeysuckle lychee and herbs really good at first... But after 2 hours fell flat
