ABV: 14.0%. Textbook notes of lychee on the nose with a hint of guava and flinty minerality in the background. There's ample acidity supporting the fruit on the mid-palate, but it seems like it can use some more time to integrate with the wine. The mouthfeel is also a little more viscous than your average Alsatian white, which should eventually balance itself out with some more cellar time. Decant this wine if you're planning to open your bottle soon, but I'd say wait until the 15 year mark (2026). This wine has good potential if you have the patience to let it evolve.

Smooth, round, integrated and tasty. Bit of sweetness that went well with porkloin made with an Indian spice rub. Usual Gewurtz nose and flavor. Held up well both in my basement and over the evening.

Wine still held up well after 10 years. Flavour was starting to diminish but still enjoyable.

Interesting wine. Fragrant, spicy nose. Palate has a really heavy oily attack with petrol and rubber notes, followed by honey. Maybe over the hill?
