This is batshit crazy Gewürztraminer. Nose of vanilla extract, spice, perfumed, some lychee, some dried apricot, so nuanced and complex. Awesome mineral backbone. So pretty. Platonic ideal of Gewürztraminer nose. Palate is sweet and supple with dazzling purity and freshness. It’s so refined and elegant. Good freshness from the minerality. Deep, juicy and has just amazing presence and the faintest hit of bitter on the finish. Long finish. Brilliant.

Jul 8th, 2020Big opulent nose. Lychee, grapefruit, apricot, mineral, spice and creaminess. Nice nose. Floral as well. White flowers. Palate is rich, spicey but with a dry tasting finish. Nice acid sweetness balance. Juicy and almost savory on the finish. Nice wine.

Spice and jasmine. Sweet and complex. Spice carries this and I miss the acid less than I thought I would.

An under the radar/uber cult wine from Germany.
I’m guessing less than 36 bottles (375ml) made it to the American shore.
Thank you @Lyle Fass for bringing these treasures stateside.

Too bad Delectable doesn't have a "+" key in the rating scale, because this is going to get better over the next several years. Beautiful nose of ripe peach and lychee nuts along with a clean stony minerally note. Rich, sweet, primary, and mouthfilling, but very light on its feet. Long long pure luscious finish with nice acids. A dessert wine for those who still want to have some energy after dinner. Really nice.

Elegant as in clear, light, delicate. Great mouthfeel, balanced, not too sweet. Fine fine Gewürz.
