  Brilliant light amber. Fully mature nose displaying sweet slightly dry yellow fruit, dry peach, apricot, orange marmalade, tea, light caramel, honey, sweet and spicy spices and mineral. There is a hint of petrol but not overwhelming. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of sweet yellow fruit, rich and slightly sweet but also airy and fluid, bright acidity, limestone mineral, and a long sweet yellow fruit driven finish. It is a unique expression of Riesling. IMO, some of the GGs will age similarly with time, i.e. gains complexity but loses energy and purity.

  Orange flavors & botrytis dominate here, still hanging on but not forever.

  Orangegul färg
  
  honung, apelsin, aprikos, bränt socker, lite botrytistoner
  
  Rund, tämligen söt, fet, bra längd, lite krutigt eller reduktivt i avslutet, fortfarande en viss syra
  
  Jäkligt bra och roligt vin. Jag borde köpa mer från Alsace.
