Purchased at the winery in 2018. Light gold in color. Very faint traces of white fruit on the nose with a spice. Palate hanging in nicely. Very soft in mouthfeel but still has some acidity to provide a bit of structure. Comes off as slightly off-dry. Honeyed lemon notes, white peach, soft yellow apple. Quite tasty. Another lesson in good storage and provenance.

No formal notes, but I can say that this wine just fell flat. I poured most of it out. There seemed to be some typical gewurz minerality going on beneath the surface, but the alcohol (perhaps combined with the bottle age) just made this undrinkable and covered up whatever character this wine may otherwise harbor.
I did not have this wine when it was young, but it sounds like it had the same problems, and time has not mitigated them.

Not nearly as good or crisp as I remember it at the winery. Came across as flabby and sweet. Glad I only had 1 bottle. Not to mention that it was overpriced.

Hard to score this wine as I like the flavors but they are just too intense. Rich and full bodied and bursting with peach, like a late harvest wine. Took us a couple days to get through the bottle but was nice for sipping.
