  No aroma at all. The sweetness overshadowed any fruit. Tasted like something I've concocted in the basement during the college years. Would never guess there was a gewurz grape hidden in there. Dumped most of it down the drain.

  This is so cloyingly sweet and sugary that it's reminiscent of 7-Up and, accordingly, it's nigh undrinkable. Other than that, there's not much "there there." The palate is all but vacant of fruit, showing (perhaps) some citrus and peach, but it lacks the floral and pepper notes that a Gewurz typically displays. To the extent that there's a finish--nay, an aftertaste--it's hot and bothered. I've dumped the remainder down the sink.
