  January 20, 2022 - Interesting wine, with the exotic Gewutrz notes that have matured. Acidity is not as great as I would like, but there is a pleasing bitterness on the finish that I quite enjoyed. Not sure how to pair this with food though.

  April 18, 2020 - I very much agree with the last few posts before me. The nose is amazing, however the wine itself is more interesting than delicious. Smells like the best sauternes that I have ever had, but the gewurztraminer, in desert wine form is probably just not my cup of tea. Or this wine is just a little too disjointed for me

  December 31, 2016 - Deep golden color. Honey and botrytis on the nose. The sharp acid overpowers the sweetness that was suggested when sniffed. Some honeysuckle and lime. Medium long finish, but the astringency is not entirely pleasant. More interesting than delicious as the Gewurztraminer floral/perfume essence fights with the VT sweetness. On day 2, paired surprisingly well with rich, sweet chocolate truffles.

  December 31, 2016 - Ringing It Out, Ringing It In-Three Days of New Year's Celebration; 12/31/2016-1/2/2017 (San Francisco): Full golden color. Strident grapefruit aromas. Full, bordering on heavy but saved by surprising (for the varietal), vibrant acidity. Moderately sweet, some high tones of botrytis, apricot fruit, moderately long finish without any Gewurztraminer cyanic bitterness. I don't love the varietal, but I did admire this wine, finding it fresher than expected for its age and not as overwhelming as Zind Humbrecht VT wines can be. As the generous provider of this bottle noted, probably more interesting than delicious. And so 2016 comes to a close.

  February 5, 2016 - The wine looks amber/honey colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. Luscious Honey and apricot notes.
  
  The body is full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes long.
