Italian Wine Scholar at the Texas Wine School. This later harvest Gewurtztraminer has a very complex nose, with lychee, orange peel, candied lemon/citron, honeysuckle, honey, caramel, vanilla. The palate is sweet, but the medium to medium (+) acidity kicks in at the finish and balances out the massive 186 g/L of sugar. The alcohol is low at 10%. The palate is consistent with the nose, with a creamy, luscious mouthfeel. This is a really fun wine which should age indefinitely. WS gave it only an 89 in 2012 and recommended drinking by 2015, which is obviously an understatement on both counts.

Tasted in Italian alps last spring. Was the most eye opening wine of the entire trip (piedmonte and veneto). An explosion of pear, vanilla and lemon. Long finish. Complex. Flavor profile keeps changing during 30 sec finish. Not generally a fan of dessert wines, but his one blew me away,
