To the nose, a mix of honey, peach and pear plus allspice. On the palate, relatively more spice, with very slight wood or oak (no vanilla). Peach remains with no honey taste but adding pear, apple, melon and slight pineapple. Mouthfeel is more than expected with gewurz; length is med - slightly drier than typical gewurz. Not as lively as recall from previous vintages but still some months left on this one. Paired well with Thai.

To the nose, less spice than I recall from previous vintages and now balanced with fruit. Nutmeg more than clove and cinnamon. For fruit, mix of apple types and increasing as it warms. On the palate, spice (same) balanced with fruit (red apple, honey, slight pear, very slight papaya). Seemed tame compared to recall of prior vintages but paired very well with Thai food.
