  March 31, 2018 - Intense and lovely wine. Honey, dried apricots and mushrooms on the nose. Almonds, wool and sweet nougat on the palate. Lush body with relatively low acidity and noticeable alcohol, dry finish. Quite delicious and mature, worked well with smoked salmon.

  March 5, 2016 - Flabbily simple, this partially oxidized, overripe offering disappointed. Little/no acidity a problem.

  March 31, 2014 - Je m'attendais vraiment pas a ce genre de Gewurztraminer ! Maintenant je comprend pourquoi ils sont parfois classés parmi les vins de dessert.Ce vin était très semblable a un Tokaj.Jaune doré,Belle larmes,très fruité au nez prune,poire,pomme,en bouche c'est une explosion de fruits avec une acidité plus présente qu'un tokaj mais au comment agréable et rafraichissante.Belle finale avec un gout superbe qui nous reste en bouche.Vraiment bon j'ai adoré !

  April 3, 2011 - What a lovely nose. Just gorgeous. 100 points for the nose. I could sniff it all night long. The rest of the wine: Golden in color. The nose is lychees with some sea air and maybe some tropical fruit. Full bodied. This was sweet on the palate. A very slight bitterness on the finish that is typical in Gewurz. It went very well with our food at dinner, but if it were a touch less sweet and not bitter, this could have been remarkable. As it was, it was outstanding. Still, obviously, young.
