Nose like a serious Alsace GC gewurz had me excited. The palate is off-dry but the fruit and flower intensity gives it a sensation of being even sweeter(which I'm not sure if I like). Long finish. Killer example of the grape from NZ, but that price...

The last of the summer wine comes to mind given its age, but perfect for Chicken Tikka.

Solid Geurtz, lovely rosewater, lychee and mango. Fairly plush but balanced sugar

2004 Off the charts. Honeyed spice and fruit. Still plenty of acid to clean up the finish and fruit just keeps giving. Delicious!
