Incredibly aromatic. Lots of floral notes, but also a lot of stone fruit and citrus. The floral aspects of the gewurtz really work with the stone fruit from the riesling and enhance each other. Still has good acidity to keep everything balanced. Drinking really well right now, but still has several years ahead of it. Great on its own but terrific with food. Super quaffable in its youth, but if you can age them several years, you're always well rewarded.

Drinking so very well right now. Everything is super integrated. A couple hours of air improved it further, but the bottle didn’t last that long. I have four more and will definitely sit on at least one of these for several more years.

Good stuff, and just how I remember the 2015 (bottled as Matello). Aromatic, alsatianesque, fresh mixed fruit and soft alpine herbs/mint/pine. Dry, but with a suggestion of sweetness. Good acidity. Some silkiness to the texture. Characterful, delicious, and a good value.

Positive evolution over an evening of drinking. Showed the Gewurz early on and then a grippy Riesling character emerged. Delicious and fun drinking.

A fresh and fun wine, with some spice, and just a slight bit of sweetness. Lovely.
