Still drinking beautifully. Hue is starting to turn a little golden but aromas are bright, fresh and intense. Nicely balanced with sweetness and acidity. some botrytis but not overwhelming the wine; still discernable Gewurz character.

Picked up, cheap, at an auction not too long ago... Very enjoyable and true to character: the Gewurztraminer character is intense and pleasant as is the botrytis character. Enough acidity to hold everything together, which is usually the issue with some of these wines. While surely fully developed at this point, I believe that the wine will hold for another 3-5 years. Nice surprise...
