  So...Christmas Eve inventory in the cellar....an orphan half- bottle of this light aperatif wine:
  On nose: curious scent of buttered rye toast.
  On palate:follow through of the faded bread note,in addition to an odd , persistent flavour of castor( icing) sugar,and fading oxidized remnants of dried apples and roses....this wine should clearly have been drunk , by at least 2016....a fragile wine meant to be drunk YOUNG, at only 11% alcohol , and composed of Muscat( 85%) and Gewurztraminer( 15%)....live and learn....I recall this wine in 2015, from another half- bottle, as being quite bright, simple and crisp...another learning experience.

  Léger et un peu sucré encore une fois. Simple et court, correct.

  Thought it was a Riesling by the nose, tons of stone fruits coming through. On the palette, off dry to a touch of sweetness, with just enough of the Gewurtztraminer there to let u know. Very well made wine. Had with crab cakes and did quite well.

  Still reliable year after year. Bright, floral, slightly off-dry, well-made, light. This vintage is the first I've tried in 5 years. Less overtly floral than I remember, perhaps also with a little less zing. But good summer drinking all the same. 11%, $14

  The wine looks greenish gold colored. It tastes like apricot, peach, rose and pineapple. The body is light. The wine finishes short. The wine has low acidity.
