  At CKH with the Xtremos. Delicate varietal aromas become med- in intensity with air. Viscous mouthfeel. Enjoyed this a lot though I’d probably have enjoyed it a bit more had I opened this one some years back.

  This was really a blast for about 45 minutes. Deep golden color-definitely some oxidized notes. But it has a nose of apple and honey and lemon. Uber ripe tropical and orchard fruit on the palate, buffered with some acidity that tingles. It begins to feel its age as it gets air, becomes more of a novelty than something I want to drink a lot of as the acidity and structure fade with time. Good to sip in small doses. Drink up.

  Retail $45(?). I bought six bottles of this wine way back in August of 2012 and sadly, this was the last of the lot. And what a beauty. Golden in the glass with definitive signs of oxidation in color, on the nose, and on the palate, but not overpowering whatsoever. What is dominant? Above all the aromatics: white hibiscus, lemon blossom, lychee, golden apple, and deep, intense honey. Yowza. The palate is simply magnificent. Sure, there is the suggestion of sweetness, but the subtle fruit, that slight oxidation, and the incredible richness are the story once past the lips. New World Gewurztraminer producers take note: this is what you aspire to be.

  Medium hay in color, bit of a rusty water tinge, has the telltale gewurz spice nose, then quintessential gewurz palate, oozing flavorful spice, with nice streaks of slightly bitter minerality that balance the density and almost oily nature of the wine. This continues to just float along, aging very slowly. I know I have some notes on this dsting back quite a few years, always fun to check on one of my favorite off the beaten track bottles. Might only have one or two left, will try to space them out a few more years.

  DnP. Beautiful yellow mature but still fresh looking. Spicy sweetness showing a lot of stuff, exotic fruits, freshness. Impressive very well balanced on the palate, spicy and still fresh. This is in a perfect place now. Complexity of maturity without any signs of fading.
