February 26, 2010 - Musar 95-97, Bergstrom 02-07 at Kirk's (Kirk's Place): (served blind) Rich gold in the glass. Gorgeous nose of beeswax, honey, slight petrol, saffron. In the mouth, ripping saffron, sweet, balanced, hint of menthol. Ripe, and complex! Absolutely friggen delicious. I totally missed this one - I didn't pick up on Litchi (palate fatigue perhaps?) or rose petal. And there wasn't any bitterness on the palate for me - usually de rigeur when tasting gewurz. I absolutely love this wine. Thanks, Chris!

February 26, 2010 - '02-'07 Bergström, '95-'97 Musar, and more in Maine (Kirk's Apartment): A deep golden hue in the glass with a faint hint of burnt rubber, lyche, saffron, apricot, and honey. In the mouth this was powerful, and delicate, without being too cloying or unctious as flavors of apricot, peach, honey, and a hint of botrytis unfold along a long 45+ second finish.
