  Spot-on aromatics of litchi fruit and saturn peaches, pleasantly spicy palate with modest sweetness (120g/L) that seems to be slowly fading with age. The best part about this was the spicy-bitter twist that pushed this towards a digestif rather than full on dessert.

  Deep golden color, very aromatic with as much botrytis aromas as gewurz elements (lots of honey, spice, dried stone fruits... some lychee... some florality). On the palate the wine has high acidity, is quite sweet (RS in the 200-250 g/l range), a super full midpalate, some phenolic bitterness on the finish with low etoh. Quality wise the wine is certainly soft on the balance (RS exceeds acid though the phenolic bite helps a bit), great length, great intensity, very high complexity. Texturally w/o any rough spots, very expressive of place. I had this open in the fridge for a couple of weeks and it didn't deteriorate at all... I think a lot of people will find this wine a bit soft and cloying but it is gewurztraminer after all that has seen a ton of botrytis and has a ton of RS so enjoy it for what it is, a big fat luscious, complex wine with a super long finish.
