Community Tasting Notes 2

June 5, 2009 - Light straw color with a nose of creamy lychee fruit and spice. Fairly lively acids give way to a medium finish. There was no botrytis in '06, but there was in '07. A bit of a sour finish that rounds it all out nicely.

September 8, 2008 - Martin Scott Portfolio Tasting 2008 (East Side of Central Park, NYC): I love this nose! - dead on lychees and rose petals. I could smell this all day long! In the palate, though, it finishes dry, a bit hot, and with the usual Gewurz bitterness.
Joe: "In wines like this, and Torrontes, I'm not a big fan when they smell like this but finish dry and high alcohol/hot. I would rather they had a little residual sugar, lower alcohol, and zippy acidity"
-I think I agree. This wasn't as much fun to drink as it was to smell.
