This is delicious even though it is near the end of its recommended drinking window. Still full of soft lychee fruit. Rounded and soft with a sweetness and great length. Don't know why some people are scoring so lowly. Maybe they just don't like gewurztraminer. If you like this grape, you will love this wine.

i liked this a lot! Clear yellow colour. Voluptuous, with rose perfume and hints of bergamot paired with an impeccable structure. Perfect to drink now. Wish i had more bottles.

2005 St Emilion, Alsace and Stickies (M.E. home, Umeå, Sweden): Has an enticing, sweetish, rose-root aroma that becomes this wine quite well. Nose is from a decidedly youthful wine with abundant flowery aromas. Very, very nice! Palate is not at all parked in my alley. Semi-sweet. Acids are too low, giving the sugars a cloying "un-quality" that has no useful place in my wine Universe. To be a Gew, this is quite restrained on the aromatic side. But, man! The lack of acids... But why? I just don't get it...
Possibly, it will come forward as it comes of age, but I wouldn't spend my hard earned money on btls like this one. Still rather good, but just not good enough.
