appears dark gold, heavy grape nose, big and basic, hints of spice, mouthfeel spritzy initially, medium thickness, taste toward sweet, honey, odd funk in there, spice working its way on tongue, for the first two days, I did not really care for this wine, it was heavy and one-dimensional for me, on the third day, however, it was absolutely wonderful, though still sweet and a bit heavy, the flavors had rounded out to a spiced peach-pear cobbler, the spice was excellent and not over the top, and, above all, it was refreshing such that drinking a glass was an easy pleasure rather than a bore, the deadening aspects were gone and the wine was a nice, more elegant, approach, for the $13 I paid, I’d gladly pop open a bottle again consume the greater portion later

DAvid Bowler Tasting (the rest of the notes) (NYC): have to BUY this somewhere, wow nose of PURE rosewater. middle continues the same strain - just pure delight. the middle is dryer, balanced. slight bitterness - gewurtz it is - on the finish. YUMM!!!

Quintessential aromatic example of Alsatian Gewurztraminer. Very expressive nose of soap, lychee, pears, and a hint of oranges. Good crisp acidity, fresh, and a touch of sweetness. Very "lively" mouthfeel. interesting flavors of pears, grapefruit, melon, citrus fruits, and a classic long spicey finish, and after some time sitting in the glass, a impressive note of grapefruit lingering at the end. For Alsatian gewurztraminer fans, this is surely a winner at $20 a bottle!
