Not so impressive tonight in a line-up of great gewurtztraminer. Drier than the rest. Power but austerity which seemed at odds with the delicious opulence of the rest. However the nose is fine, though subtle, and the structure is there for this to make old bones and possibly become great.

To my mind this is as Gewurz gets. Light-medium gold. Remarkably pure, floral nose. No tell-tale lychee. Some raisoned character but in the background, and other subtle fresh fruit hints. The palate both full and elegant. Only slight oiliness or astringency. Persistent and concentrated. Drier than anticipated.

A hint of spice but palate completely dead.
