  NobleRottersSydney - Lots of birthdays this year (Lucio's, Paddington): Pale straw green. An explosive, classic, varietally correct nose of pot-pourri, exotic spices and sweet grapey fruit. On the palate, terrific acidity carries the sweetness, although in the final analysis, the sugar does dominate the finish a little at this early stage in the wine’s life. There’s some oiliness on the palate – something that seems to me characteristic of Alsatian gewurz. I’ve little experience with this style of sweet wine at this age, but I think with another few years it will develop more interesting flavours. Very good for now, and potentially outstanding.
