PnP. This continues to drink beautifully. Citrus, peach, some pear, floral notes from the gewürztraminer. Fresh and vibrant yet starting to develop some secondary notes. Although this is a blend of four grapes, it's so well integrated at this point that they're all singing with a single voice. This should continue to age and drink well through 2026 and perhaps later. Remarkable value at $18 full retail. Two more left and I'll do my best not to touch them for a couple more years.

Helluva wine for $18, loads of texture, citrus and green skinned fruits. Seems young at 6yrs, but- holy hell, this is a better value than Hugel's gentile blend. Stocking up.

Found two bottles on a local grocery store shelf at $18 mixed in with some 2019's. PnP. Straw color. Nose is lemon/grapefruit, some stone fruit (peach, apricot), floral/white flower notes, and a slight petrol and wet stone note from the Riesling. Even though it's a 6 year old wine, it took some time to open. Medium-light body, and medium acid. Drinking beautifully now and it seems clear that this cuvee (and not just this vintage) will age at least 10 years from the vintage. Prices for the current release have gone up, but even at the current price, this wine is an inedible value.

The last of these, and it's still drinking beautifully.
