  February 2, 2021 - A bit too sweet for my palate. Mango, lychee. Rich and bold.

  November 9, 2020 - I love Schlumberger wines and in most vintages this is a winner. Has taken on a bit of colour in the last 12 months. The 2016 is at its most open at present but having seen how the 2015 has begun to fall quickly I don't think one would want to hold on for another 6+ months. Great richness and well balanced acidity, it has an impressive length yet always under control.

  November 9, 2020 - On the nose, it's all about lychee and pineapple. On the palate, it tastes of the syrup that comes with canned peach/pineapple/lychee. It's sweet but not cloying, saved by the acidity. It's a easy crowd pleaser.

  July 30, 2020 - The nose is all lychee syrup and pineapple. On the palate there’s some more energy with maybe M acid (more than other similarly priced Gewurztraminer I’ve had recently) and some lively spice like fresh ginger or maybe cardamom. Off dry though of course the flavor profile makes it come across sweeter than it actually is. We had this with glazed tofu in holiday ham style (with cloves and garlic et al), on a bed of ginger coconut rice, with a mixed tropical fruit salad (also with ginger). This wine really sings with the ginger notes, does well with the glazed tofu and rice in general, great with the tropical fruit obviously but not quite as good with the zesty citrus elements. I think ginger is the key to making Gewurztraminer work with savory dishes, and this is a pretty good bottle for trying that sort of pairing, but IMO you really have to shape the dish around the wine to make it come off. ~6-6.5/10
