  November 23, 2021 - A better showing with better focus and sweetness less noticeable.
  Light, golden hue.
  Nice Gewurztraminer aromatics while retaining some elegance. rose and spice elements most noticeable.
  Nice texture with just enough acidity to keep the aromas focused. Yes. The sweetness contributes considerably to the texture, but in this case it works.
  Long, clean finish. No hurry to drink.

  January 7, 2020 - A nice wine but lacking focus and balance.
  Yes. This wine has aged quite nicely. I don't mind the golden hue; totally appropriate for a 21 year old Gewurztraminer. The aromatic intensity shows that the ripeness was excellent.
  What is upsetting is the high level of R.S. so apparent in this wine that nobody chooses to mention. There is not enough acidity in this wine to balance this, which is not surprising given that Gewurz is a low acid variety.
  This is for all of you praising the "wild yeast" fermentations. Enjoy the sugar...

  March 12, 2017 - Quite a light gold color, obviously well preserved; very bright and clear. The nose follows the suggestion of the color, with very fresh aromas of mandarin orange, slate, and the flattering touches of honey, petrol and white floral. The palate continues the freshness, with a medium body that offers textbook flavors, layers and structure. I don't recall ever having this wine in this vintage before, and I have to say, 17 years on, wow, did I get lucky with this pristine bottle - it made a wonderful impression. Finishes long, composed with the perfect amount of lift. No such thing as great wines, or great bottles, just (got lucky with) good corks. Thru 2024. recommended
  
  Served non-blind. Excellent food wine.
