Réserve Alsace Gewürztraminer
Alsace, France
Almost aggressively aromatic, with perfectly bloomed white rose petals dominating. Palate is complex, with vanilla, smoke, lychee, honey, fruit cocktail syrup, overripe Bartlett pear, white pepper, and finishes with some RS, acid, and nutmeg. You'll either love it or hate it, but that's Gewurtz.

nose is fine and presents a great aromatic richness with notes of sweet spices (cinnamon, cardamom) and exotic fruits( mango, papaya, and guava). On the palate, it shows a great complexity: supple and ample, with persistence on spicy and mango flavours.
Buttery?

Definitely some floral notes, less spice. Interesting to drink, off-dry but the higher alcohol content keeps it from being syrupy sweet. More aromatic in scent and flavor, but expected from this varietal.

Loaded with aromas, rose, lychee, honey. Almost tastes like perfume with the tang on the sides of the tongue. The aroma leaps out of the glass. There is no hiding that this is a Gewurtztraminer. Enjoyable even if it isn’t for everyone.

Floral, sweet and crisp fruitiness. Very flavorful, has a honeyed moscato-like sweetness but also some zing. Great for drinking on its own

right on the nose I got super forward of honey and pear.
On the palet I get the cocktail syrup vanilla and acid.
overall not a bad wine for trying new things
