Even better than last time. The wine has evolved to take on honeyed notes to complement the fruit. Balancing acidity. According to the "drink by" notes, this should be over the hill. Not even close.

This has been my "house white" for several years now. Down to about 9 bottles. This is a lovely, versatile wine, that accompanies a wide variety of foods. Very well blended, with good light fruits, balanced acid, medium long finish. This last bottle was just starting to fade on the second day (which had not been the pattern). But, no hint of being on the downslope when opened. I think that Alsatian whites are still one of the wine world's great values.

I usually don't rate white wines this high, but this was a real treat. Great full mouth feel, crushed stone, pineapple, melons, with a long dry finish. It was also very refreshing and made for an excellent apertif.

This wine has evolved nicely, becoming more unctuous. It is a good match for oily fish or chicken dishes. Highly recommended.
