La bocca è altrettanto segnata, su note burrose e di vaniglia, lasciando qualche spazio a frutta tropicale, pesca e mela matura. Pecca in bevibilità e mineralità. Legno a tratti eccessivo. |

9/6/2010 - frockaloid Likes this wine: 88 pointsEverything I expect from CSM Gewurz. Fruity, bright, clean, quaffable, dirt cheap. off-dry, so serve with food accordingly. Held up surprizingly well to BBQ-ribs and related picnic food. A go-to.

8/21/2010 - frockaloid Likes this wine: 89 pointsI worried that this bottle might be past its prime based on others' recommended drinking dates, but I found it quite lively, with a good deal more character than many merlots I've had. Garnet tending toward brick red. Nose was a tad hot but interesting and earthy. Balanced acidity and mature fruit; medium-to-full body; tannins evident but not distracting. Very nice, wonderful accompanyment to a balsamic pork roast.

Nose on tones very smoked and dried fruit, definitely marked by the wood but nice for my taste. The mouth is also checked on vanilla and buttery notes, leaving some room for tropical fruits, fishing and ripe Apple. Trespass in drinkability and minerality. Wood good, but sometimes excessive
