  Terry Theise said this could be the the most elegant and refined German Gewurz he has had. Expected it to be dry for a Spatlese based on reviews but I found it on the sweet side. Light yellow color. Some spice with peach, apple and waxy white fruit. 89 points

  Nose of heavy lychee, and initial attack on the palate much the same with a good amount of residual sugar to give it weight and some viscosity. The mid palate turns to sweet meyer lemons, quickly turning to bitter citrus and melon rind.
  
  Definitely not a subtle wine from the sweet tropical flavors to the bitterness on the finish all magnified. While this can be polarizing, I did enjoy this as a pure varietal representation of concentrated juice.

  Nauseatingly floral nose. Light medium weight (could not be Alsatian Gewurztraminer), moderate residual sugar, excellent acidity, tropical fruit, impressive minerality. Curious and quite fascinating, but I would not go so far as to say enjoyable.

  Lychee, floral, soft seductive nose. Fairly sweet, but it doesn't finish that sweet. Despite the richness of the wine, the hidden acidity really does keep this fresh. Long finish. Very nice.
