Mid-gold in color, this has a pronounced classic Gewurztraminer nose of lychee, rose petals, spice and ripe stone fruit with notes of earthy minerality. Sweet and richly textured, round mouthfeel with moderately intense flavors similar to nose with an added note of stem ginger and smoky spice on the finish.——W.E.(3/1/2011)—— 89

This bottling seems pretty variable from year to year, with the 2006 version being somewhat sweet and simple. It offers pear and lime flavors on a compact frame, finishing clean but short.——J.C.(6/1/2009)—— 84

Sweet and broad, with obvious spice, lychee and rose-petal aromatics but a disappointing lack of follow-through on the finish. It’s good, but could use more vibrance and length.——J.C.(4/1/2008)—— 84

Nice Gewurz, for those consumers looking for something outside of Alsace. Exaggerated floral aromas are typical, so are the lychee and spice flavors. There’s a modest sweetness to this wine, so it should work well with spicy Asian foods. ——J.C.(12/15/2004)—— 88
