  Pure pleasure. Lychee, yellow plums, pear, a hint of citrus. Some RS on the palate, good acidity. An odd almost bitter note I can't place detracts from the overall experience, but this is still a superb example of alsatian Gewurztraminer.

  Lovely Sauternes like aromas with marzipan, roses and honey. Fat and opulent, but also creamy and delicate. I got a better impression of the wine now than a year ago.

  One glass by Coravin, with Epoisses cheese.
  
  At the voluptuous end of the spectrum. Nose is all tropical fruit, rosewater and sweet spice. Very concentrated on the palate, sweeter at first but ending with a drier note.
  
  A wine for sipping, with oriental food, cheese or by itself. Glorious and it will be interesting to see how it ages.

  10n
  à coté du Zind 2009 (C st U. Rangen) ouvert en début de soirée, il a fait pale figure sur le dessert, se montrant assez banal et sans verticalité, tout a fait correct -certes- mais cela ne suffisait pas. Sans magie, et assez plat.

  Floral aromas with some petroleum. Fat, full bodied and concentrated with some sweetness. Impressive.
