This seemed rather oxidized initially, but with(in) 60+ minutes of air it really started singing! Pretty good as a nightcap, too. 14.24% stated ABV. 89-90

Solid Scholium white. Kinda funky nose (as I was expecting) with typical spicy Gewurtz notes on the palate and some slight minerality on the finish. Drinking pretty well right now without any heat poking through, but no concern at all with holding these longer. Out of 500ml

Golden yellow Nice nose Swiss cheese, golden apple, pineapple, papaya, a little veggie, desert wine type nose. A bit high in alcohol. Very tasty cheese, golden apple skin, Muscat.

Crazy nose on this wine. Very much "ripe gewurz." Lots of spiciness, reminiscent of chili lime flavoring. On the palette this is huge and ripe. Definitely some skin contact. Really fun, interesting wine. Super complex.

Pure lime juice on the nose, more tropical with time in the glass. Really pure and floral on the entry, then a really dominant flavour of chewy green fruit pastille sweets fills the palate. There's a nice delicate perfumed violet character that appears on the finish. Very enjoyable.

A touch sweet, tropical fruit, lychee. Nice acidity/minerality, just a hint of the oxidation often seen in Scholium wines.

Very nice. Almost desertie. Big fan of this wine.
Key lime pie, filing, lemon zest, yogurt on the nose killer stuff. Would be great with spicy food.
