  Gorgeous golden colour, toffee and honey. Some oregano as well. Amazing oiliness and weight and density. Luscious. Super! Incredible salinity as well, like a botrytis wine but with super savoury character and lemony too. Still energetic and youthful. Just wonderful.

  Not quite as vibrant as it was some years ago. But still a wonderful bottle. Love these older Alsatian gewurtz wines!

  Nose is still fabulous. Beginning to fade on the palate. Time to drink this one up. Still, oily, glycerides, honeyed, wonderful. Cork disintegrated. Second like that. :-(

  Cork disintegrated but the wine was fine. This wine is in its early stages of decline. Some of the honeyed richness and complexity that it showed five years ago is fading. Still lovely. Pure nose, good balance. Wonderful fruit.

  The last bottle was disappointing, and thought we'd try another. This one was back to my memories of what this wine is. Excellent!
  
  Deepening, golden color. Lychee nose with spice. Well balanced and integrated fruit, acid, sugars. From this bottle, the wine is holding without decline. Delightful with the Thai-spicy shrimp dish. Also worked amazingly well with an aged brie at the end of the meal.
