  An even straw colour. A rather harsh seeming nose that seems a bit sandy and coarse with a touch of air-freshener: it seems very lacking in varietal characteristics, which is one thing gewurz usually has in abundance. Light to the point of watery on the attack, but then builds a little to give some flavour. But again, it's very, very light on gewurztraminer characteristics - but then it's also very light on any characteristics whatsoever. Some rather tough, almost tannic acidity on the middle, then it reverts on the finish to a fairly characterless liquid. Some figgy notes on the finish. Drops away suddenly on the finish, but it's actually quite long after. It is really gewurztraminer?
  There was a distinct improvement after 24 hours, but still not worth the effort of opening. OK.
