Gold green straw. Sauvignon blanc dominates the bouquet, flinty, some sweet notes, grassy notes, an interesting nose. Sweet and bitter attack, very fruity (tropical fruits), good length.
Light green gold. An unmistakable Gewurztraminer aroma, sweet with Turkish delight, rose water, delicate, understated and delightful. Just off dry, fruity with tropical fruits, balanced, tasting lovely after ten years.
Very dense, aged, opaque. A developed nose, earthy and vegetal, tomato sauce and Marmite; nose became far more pleasant after 30 minutes, I suggest decanting an hour before drinking. Baked fruit, good balance, quite long.
Tawny with age, translucent. A fresh nose, vegetal with a hint of fruit. Still fruity in the mouth, integrated, probably at its absolute peak, quite long.

Pleasant light gold.
An aroma of cream and baked apples.
Refreshing, well balanced, this bottle had clearly benefitted from a few years' bottle aging.
