Nose rose and lychee - more typical than the last bottle - but also still hot. Mineral shows up more, too. Palate is heavy, and alcoholic, with little acid to keep things lifted. Finish short, but thankfully mineral coated. Does not meet expectations, and not in a "tired/too old" sort of way.

Not exactly on par with my expectations of the producer, région or varietal. Nose heavy, a bit floral but also hot. Honey Amd apricot. Palate very laden with extract and alcohol. Yes it has mineral but where’s the freshness or acid. Just heavy and hot. Unripe peach and phenolic.

Prototypical expression of Gewürztraminer in Elsasser terroir. Otherwise, the wine seemed to be afloat in alcohol, and showed quite angular to the wine.

Bitter. Leeche when it warms, but still not good.

Smells nice, but that's about it. Not a whole lot going on otherwise.
