Pale gold in Colour. On the nose dried orange skin with lychees and slight honeyed note. Gives impression of a sweet wine. On the palate, very dry and complex. First with dried orange skin and fruits before evolving into oak spice and peppery notes. Finishes off with good minerality and acidity. Only thing is high alcohol level. Other than that it's quite interesting and well made!

Golden color. Wonderful boquet that leads you to beleive their might be some sweetnbess, but it is bone dry. Rich, mouth feel, high level of Alc. Nice match to pan roasted halibut with ham broth

Alsace wine fair (Raffles Hotel): Alcohol : 15.5% What a monster! And this is clearly out of my radar and appreciation. The nose is still alright with citrus, intense floral, mineral and touch of kerosene. However the palate is huge, huge and huge with tons of alcoholic spices. I have regret to swallow even the tiny bit of the wine and the alcohol heat glide through my palate and throat. Off balance and terrible. Buy - No.

Orange-amber color with notes of orange peel and baking spice. Rather flat on the palate, though, lacked acidity.
