 Tasted by mouton45 on 2/26/2006 & rated 91 points: Took to Bonefish Grill Sunday night for Cathy's birthday. I love Alsatian wines, and this one was delicious and a perfect accompaniment to the fish dishes we had. Aromatic nose. A little bit of sweetness on the palate. Nice degree of spiciness worked well with my mahi mahi and Cathy's grouper. Wish I had more. (2462 views)
 Tasted by dougsmith on 9/26/2005: Pale to medium gold color in the glass. Pronounced nose of lychee and honey with complex perfumy floral notes and a touch of hay.

On the palate it was not quite dry, perhaps off-dry, with a pronounced flavor intensity and a long complex finish.

(Not rated but 90 or over). (2181 views)
 Tasted by LoireFan on 4/13/2005 & rated 88 points: Very good, but I like the 2001 better. Still, I'll probably buy a few more. For inexpensive Gewürztraminer, this is surely a standard. (2208 views)
 Tasted by steffenpelz on 3/17/2005 & rated 90 points: Very nice wine. Golden in the glass with a rich nose of tropical fruit, particularly lychee and apple peels. The palate is thick and syrupy with flavors of honey, bartlett pear and tropical fruit. Moderately long finish and a bit sweeter than I expected it to be. Nice aperitif wine. (2500 views)
 Tasted by Winetex on 9/21/2004 & rated 88 points: Gold in color with exotic fruits and spices on the nose. There was honey and spices in the middle with a medium spicy finish. It had a rich mouthfeel almost to the point of syrupy. It tasted like there was a small amount of residual sugar. A great food match with Indian food.

[$25; 13.5% alcohol; Served with homemade Indian chicken and rice] (2650 views)
