  January 19, 2019 - Beautiful nose, but disappointing. Sweet, bland, I thought there'd be some spiciness or acidity to add interest, but I found it lacking.

  November 13, 2017 - This bottle was overly sweet and did not have the intense spicy, fruity flavors that I remember of Alsace Gewurtz's from the past. It reminded me a bit of the white candy Lifesavers from my childhood, which I believe were supposed to be pineapple flavored. Or maybe it was Topps bubble gum that came with baseball cards (back in 1959 at least). I believe the chemical is ethyl butyrate, methyl butyrate, or a mixture of the two.
  This wine was similar to the Chateau Ste. Michelle 2015 Gewurtz from Washington, which was also not very good.
  To add a general comment, I was first introduced to Alsace Gewurtz with the 1983 vintage. All brands were spectacular, with a unique rich, complex fruit flavor that I could not associate with any particular fruit. Most reviews likened the fruit to "lychee nuts", but I did not agree with that association. I have not found a Gewurtz from anywhere recently that comes close to those 1983s or has that unique fruit.

  August 8, 2016 - color: light yellow-gold; nose: flowery; taste: light-bodied mouth feel, rounded and slightly sweet fruit taste, medium-length finish with notes of honey and crisp apple tannins ; overall: delicious, interesting, and affable sipping wine, more than good enough to pour for company, fully ready to drink as of Summer 2016. I will buy more!
