Super exotic, luscious tropical nose, lychee, mango. Rich and giving but also restrained. A beguiling bitterness on the finish, a kind of nuttiness. Refined and eloquently graceful.
A night of 2020 Zind-Humbrechts (Liner&Elsen, Portland OR): The nose is extremely pungent and classic muscat as there is a bit of soapiness at first that gives way to exotic and vibrant tones of lemon curds, green apples, tropical citrus, pineapples, peaches, five-spice, nectarines, and white flowers. The Medium/full bodied feel is fresh and balanced with crisp, high acidity. This is fun as a data point and to have every once in a while. It shows off its quality and hits all of the high notes it should, it also isn't really something I'd reach for otherwise.

Wine pairing at providence in LA :OK, but very thin. would have been good as aperitif, but not with the food.
