  Gorgeous, gorgeous wine. Emotionally satisfying. Florals and pinpoint ripeness on the nose. Beautifully knit palate with just enough RS to carry the finish. Long and involved. Fine complexity and not an insignificant amount of charm. Love this wine. Sensational with homemade Maine lobster rolls. Truly wish I’d bought a dozen.

  Nose of apple, citrus, lemon and cut grass.
  Fresh linen, honey and white peach when tasted. Medium body…starts creamy but ends bright.
  
  Paired beautifully with spicy Thai curry.

  A little late in getting a note up for this. But holy moly! What a wine! There’s a pale yellow with hints-of-gold robe. The nose is effusive, verging on flamboyant with gorgeous aromas of yellow flowers, perfectly ripe white peaches, comice pear, and white pepper and a whisper of spearmint. The lush palate is ripe, juicy, and concentrated on the attack, with a deep undercurrent of spice and ferruginous mineral character with a snappy bit of acidity to keep things lively. This has just suspicion of residual sugar and is already offering layer after layer of complexity. The nose alone is worth the price of admission (our friend Kara described it as akin to receiving a huge bouquet of expensive flowers), but the length and depth of the palate is extraordinary. This is extravagantly good and should age beautifully for 20 years or more. Absolutely ravishing and a glorious expression of Gaispfad. From ungrafted 80+ year-old organically farmed vines grown in blue-grey slate soil with traces of iron oxide.

  Straw yellow. Fantastic flavour concentration. Peach and green apple. High acidity with fruityness at the beginning. Excellent with Norwegian prawns. Buy again.
