Gorgeous golden color but fresh and clean as a whistle. Just hints of development on the palate -- teeny bit o' petrol and truffle, candied fruit on the palate (but dry), lovely.

CT Texas VI - Return to San Antonio; 10/18/2013-10/19/2013 (San Antonio): This bottle just did not do it for me tonight. Decent enough nose with petrol, pear, mineral, and cardamom. On the palate a bit oil, with pear, mineral, spice, and apple. Shortish finish lacking in the zing I was expecting. Really good, but just not that exciting.

Showing great as always -- signs of development, dark golden color, toasted nuts/kerosene/ slight funk but in a good way. Versatile food wine!

Dark golden hue, not oxidized or over the hill tho -- lovely balance of fruit, acidity. petrol-mineral funk, classic developing Alsace

CT Offline VI--San Antonio Edition (San Antonio, TX): Certainly not overly-sweet. Dry, earthy, complex, with hints of lychee mixed with forest, moss, and chili / white pepper.
