Nice, but not impressive. Somewhat lacks focus and depth. Maybe past its prime?

Maybe I waited too long....maybe it's past its prime....but anyway I've been somewhat disappointed. It just feels it has lost its weight and structure, and it feels a bit hollow. Again, probably I should have drunk it some years ago.....

Slightly corked. Totally unbalanced, with the 15% alcohol stealing the stage and killing the otherwise nice fruit aromas. Overly aggressive aftertaste.

Quite disappointing...much worse than most zweigelts I've tasted so far...lacks the roundness in the mouth and the enjoyable fruit that characterizes the varietal.

Brilliant wine. Blueberries and a rush of different ripe berries. A hint of rosemary and vanilla. A touch of cedar wood. And a great QPR.

This is a real beauty and such a great match with pumpkin-amaretto ravioli. Shows textboook late harvest gewurtz notes with incredible intensity, purity, and balance. A hint of noble rot.

Wow!! Although a Late Vintage, this is a full throttle sweet wine and not off-dry. It really explodes in your mouth with candied/ripe apricot, orange, honey, caramel, vanilla, all supported by a balanced acidity. Amazing!

Disappointing...unbalanced and with a bitter pungent finish. Bad bottle? Or bad timing? It was great at a tasting few years ago.

Borderline between off-dry and sweet. It really did magic with both duck pate and goat cheese + pear jam. A match made in heaven. And the Huebuhl takes most credit thanks to its fine balance between candied oranges, honey, ripe white fruits, apricots.....a new nuance at each sip. It has some subtle noble rot contribution. A winner!

Beautiful wine which has evolved gracefully. Typical Gewurtz notes accompanied by apricot, lemoc curd, peaches, custard-vanilla, all harmoniously together with a medium-long finish. Perfect match with medium-to-full bodied cheeses and, my favourite, pumpkin-amaretto ravioli with nutmer-butter sauce!!

WOW!!! This is very serious stuff!!! Amazing how all the ripe fruits (apricots, oranges, peaches...) and aromas (vanilla, caramel, spices, cinnamon...) complement each other in such a grand way, and with a freshness background that cleans up your mouth after each sip!!
