  WXTP Tasting II (Beautiful Wines, The Plaza): Decent, but far too young. A real shift of gear from the light, flighty German feinherb that preceded it, this was clearly Alsatian, with a deeper gold colour foreshadowing its rich, rather ripe nose of stone fruited peach and nectarines aromas, with some honeyed, yellow fruited sweetness and some meadow flowers touched by minerally, chalky nuances. The palate was very tightly wound, so that it showed almost as a rather clenched ball of racy acidity and citrussy fruit. There was some depth on the attack, but it just dissipated into a very bright, juicy, almost sharp midpalate, before a little linger of honeysuckle and mineral emerged at the finish. There was something charming about this and it had a nice amount of extract and material, but it was just not showing all that well, with the wine shutting down quite a bit past a certain point. One for the future though - this should be held for a good 3-4 years before broaching again..
