In the glass , a light gold - the nose is a medium-plus mix of peaches, lychees, florality, and a slightly smokey pepperiness. It is off-dry, with a rich mouthfeel, with a flavour of dried peaches. Acidity is low , but there is a final twist of dry spiciness , leading into a finish of sweet butterscotch. Drink up over the next two years.

This wine started out as insipid as tap water, but underwent an astonishing transformation after day 3 of being opened in the refrigerator. The wine suddenly took on a darker yellow and become impressively aromatic, sweetly spicy, pleasantly textured, and surprisingly acidic. The moral to take to heart is to patiently give a wine that started out tasting poorly the opportunity to become enjoyable by retasting it for days later.

Floral aromas on the nose. Medium bodied, semi-sweet, floral and fruity with gentle acidity. Not my favorite style but paired nicely with the egg dish at Plate Social Dining (Viking Line).

Translucent yellow, with aromas of honey. Mildly sweet in the mouth, with low acidity. Neither concentrated nor complex. Overall, too bland to recommend.

Domaine Schlumberger Masterclass at Thomas Schlumberger (wine ark alexandria): Rosewater over rosewater over rosewater over lychee…this is the most liquid Turkish delight nose on a Gewurz I've ever had. There is a touch of bitterness on the nose (yes, I know that is impossible but that is the impression it gives). It's surprisingly juicy and controlled on the palate, again very floral with a little mid - palate burr. medium plus length. I'd this is moving the Alsatian Gewurztraminer paradigm to a more ethereal plain. or. It's just a bit lightweight. take your pick.
