A nice Thanksgiving day wine. Very sweet with orange blossoms, ginger, honey, peach and pear juices, sweet herbs and held strong for a week in the bottle.

Delicious. Drank more like a Sauterne. I have never tasted a Gewurztraminer like this. Thick on the palate, rich flavors, sweet in a delicious way. A real surprise. Is this what a Grand Cru Gewurz from Alsace is supposed to taste like. Looking forward to finding out.

An off-dry to slightly sweet 2010 Grand Cru Gewurztraminer from Alsace!? Yes please! In agreement with Bajayngo in all regards. This is has the substance and versatility to pair with the broadest range of foods. Ridiculously delicious! Too bad it was my only bottle. :-( 92-93.

Definitely the best gewürztraminer I've ever had. Very young and if I had another bottle of this I would tuck it away for as long as I could, I mean 10+yrs. So sweet when 1st popped but came together after a few hours. A mesmerizing nose of orange blossoms, fresh ginger, local honey, flower nectar, peaches and nectarines. A very honeyed palate and would be enhanced with some great food like foie gras with the sweetness but acids in the background.
