Rich pineapple and lychee aromas that filled the room, effusively fruity palate and a mature, smoky finish to this delectable Gewurztraminer. My last bottle, and what a way to go. Luscious!

A mature example from an early maturing vintage, this shows plenty of pineapple and lychee, but it's a bit toasty around the edges and the rose petal is nowhere to be smelled. Still a pretty fun drink, as Gewürztraminer always is, but lacks freshness. Drink soon.

This impressed the group. Brilliant yellow gold. Bouquet of violets, though likely more subdued than in its youth. honeycomb notes with evident effervescence on the palate. Elements of petrol, stone fruit, raisin, saffron, and hints of bitter stem. Shows its age, but is indeed lively and could stand more cellaring for show...not likely to mature further before death.

Yummy dried apricot and honey suckle. This wine is nearing its optimum taste and structure.

In line with previous notes. Still hanging in with great acidity keeping order. Love the lychees and spice.
