Showing well, now fully ready. Classic gewurz nose of lychees and ginger and a nice off-dry gingery flavour. Good fo a modest co-op supermarket bottle and it was worth keeping a few years.

The shelf in my local supermarket had a lot of the 2006, and right at the back, one lonely bottle of the preceding vintage. I went for the curiosity, and what an interesting wine it is! A cliché, perhaps, but the essence of lychee and rosewater - so correct, it's uncanny. There's not enough midpalate weight for my taste, but it's delicate, poised and fragrant - copybook gewurz, which is no bad thing. No sign of age yet, despite being stored upright ona brightly-lit shelf for goodness knows how long. Dry, tangy, and excellent for the style - deserves its medal. [Sainsbury's, £6.99]

Nicer than before - dry and all ginger and lychees - very typical and went well with Chinese food. I'll be getting more.

Decent Gewurtz character - a bit dry but opens up well.
