Not super aromatic and rich like other Gewürztraminers such as the ones of Pfaff or Ostertag, but elegant and well-balanced. Transparent and crisp (something to do with the vintage?) A very nice wine to go with food. On the nose, ginger bread, grape, lycee, green apple. Higher acidity than the typical gerwurz from Alasce. Longish finish. Drink it up. Will hold but won't improve.

On the nose, cassis, sweet oak that is too obvious and sticking out at the moment. Tannins still very tight, as expected. Will be interested to taste it again after a year or so to really gauge the quality.

Not particularly expressive on the nose. Slight hint of leafiness, herbaceous note on top of aromas of dark fruit (from the Cabernet Franc that replaced the Syrah since 2007?). Full bodied and well-balanced. Needs time.
