May 9, 2020 - This is delicious even though it is near the end of its recommended drinking window. Still full of soft lychee fruit. Rounded and soft with a sweetness and great length. Don't know why some people are scoring so lowly. Maybe they just don't like gewurztraminer. If you like this grape, you will love this wine.

January 9, 2020 - i liked this a lot! Clear yellow colour. Voluptuous, with rose perfume and hints of bergamot paired with an impeccable structure. Perfect to drink now. Wish i had more bottles.

November 30, 2014 - 2005 St Emilion, Alsace and Stickies (M.E. home, Umeå, Sweden): Has an enticing, sweetish, rose-root aroma that becomes this wine quite well. Nose is from a decidedly youthful wine with abundant flowery aromas. Very, very nice!
Palate is not at all parked in my alley. Semi-sweet. Acids are too low, giving the sugars a cloying "un-quality" that has no useful place in my wine Universe.
To be a Gew, this is quite restrained on the aromatic side. But, man! The lack of acids... But why? I just don't get it...
Possibly, it will come forward as it comes of age, but I wouldn't spend my hard earned money on btls like this one. Still rather good, but just not good enough.
