    May 31, 2023 - Limited notes as I forgot to write them down. Fresh, floral lime on the nose. Rich but fresh palette. Delicious.

    May 29, 2023 - Drank over two days. Pours a pale gold. An intense burst of lychee cut with fresh lime zest providing lift, honeyed pineapple, and golden kiwi. By the second day the palate had gained in concentration; becoming richer and more intense while retaining a lightness of touch.

    February 21, 2022 - Well made, young and built to go the long haul. Perfect acidity to balance the sweetness of the wine- big lychee, yellow peach syrup and bergamot. Wow.

    November 27, 2020 - This was great! Really concentrated fruit, particularly lychee, with lime zest transitioning to saline and marjoram. Lots of length and nice sweetness to the finish.

    March 11, 2017 - A visit to Zind Humbrecht (Alsace, France): Light golden in color. The nose has melon, honey, caramel and just a slight lychee. It is gorgeous though. On the palate, there is a cocoa puff cereal note along with honey and slight burnt orange peel. Delicious. Viscous. Very sweet and certainly a dessert wine, but still good acidity. Not cloying. Finish goes on forever. Beautiful wine with decades left.
