Tasted at the winery. Previously tasted from bottle 4 months ago and my notes were in line. Nose remains very pretty and quite floral. Medium bodied with the same flavor profile as my bottle from July 2022; white orchard fruits upfront, moving to white peach with light tropical highlights through the middle and supported by acidity, lightly tart notes and spices. As with my bottle from July, was impressed by how this wine has retained both its depth and acidity over time. Nicely balanced at present and should be drunk over 2023 to enjoy at this level.

Prior bottle was four years and four months ago and this wine has held up even better than I could've hoped for. Nose continues to show a good mix of distinct floral and spice notes; no fading there. Medium bodied with dry, white orchard fruit notes upfront, expanding to white peach with tropical highlights through the middle. While it didn't have quite as much depth as it showed previously, it does open up quite well through the middle and with a little less richness, the complexity is able to shine through slightly more clearly. The tart notes on the back, as well as the acidity worked quite well with the fruit such that the balance between fruit and acidity also felt improved. Showing well at present and in a fashion that it should be able to maintain for a bit, but I'd drink these over the next year to enjoy this wine at its current height.

Pop and pour. Fragrant, floral, completely dry with a classic Gewürztraminer bite on the finish. Excellent choice with Indian food (Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Tikka Saag, Aloo Gobi). Delicious.

Very nice nose, spice with hints of stone fruit but disappointing on the palate. Not well integrated with an odd finish. Disappointing overall

Nice, with lychee and flora notes. Slight amount of minerality.
