Saturday, August 30, 2014 - Perhaps the best bottle of CSR I have ever had. Outstanding. The roughness you get in a young Gewurz is gone. There is the normal flavor profile of lychee and spice. There seems to be a bit of tart apple on the palate as well. The nose is lychee. The color is a bit darker than a young Gewurz. No sugar and no real apparent sweetness. I bought this when Jean Trimbach was in NY about 5-7 years ago. Holding to age a bit was definitely worth the wait. Glad I have more.

I am thinking I will stage them once every two years for the next six years to watch it develop. That will bring me close to 70 years old. I think it's on the upswig for at least 3 more, maybe all six. Limited experience with really aged Gewurztraminer.
