still hanging in there. Drinking fine and should last a few more years without serious degradation. Good acid finish keeping it in balance and helping out with the longevity. Lichi nose with a faint hint of petrol. Medium bodied and the acid reduces the perception of sweetness to seem like a "drier" style for the varietal.

Alsatian Wines Blind Tasting (Newport Beach, CA): Rich and aged aromas of Captain Crunch cereal and caramel. Honey, dried peaches, and a touch of oyster shells on the palate. This was the group's #2 wine.

Deep gold colour. Ripe, forward aromas of lychee, apricot, perfume and mineral. Huge, ripe palate; dry to off-dry with big replays and good acidity. Long, mouth-filling, lip-smacking finish.
Score: I wrote WOW and underlined it in the margins of my tasting notes.
