This is rather sensational; gotta love what Alsace can do in a higher-acid year like 2010. Such textural harmony here, a rare interplay between richness and sheer vibrant cut, with none of the high-alcohol, band-aid quality that I sometimes find in these wines. There's a bit of a tropical, tangy, tangerine-like quality to the fruit, but I actually find it amazingly refreshing, especially as it dissolves into a zippy burst of acid and minerals. SO good for the $16 closeout price, I will buy several more.

Good, easy drinker. Medium plus acidity, waxy, honeyed melon and citrus on the palate. Short finish.

Pale, greeny gold, like drying hay
Some citrus, smokey characteristics
Lemony spritz with some smokiness-steely
Medium+ body with a longish finish
Not my favorite varietal

Very nice wine, but didn't enjoy it as much as the Kaefferkopf Riesling we had the same night.
