Pale gold color. Very fragrant nose. Peach that is at the threshold of being rotten, soft dried apricots, floral and musk perfumes, faint underlying stonyness, marzipan, spicy gewürztraminer-like aromas. Medium plus body, not very glycerous or oily. Very sweet wine, a difficult style to pair with food because it isn’t quite dessert wine sweet. Paired with muenster cheese, and the sweetness overpowered the stinky cheese too much to be enjoyable. Acid just hangs in there for balance – interesting wine.
**Had the rest of the bottle for dessert the following evening, and it was delicious. The nose is gorgeous, not heavy on the palate, honeyed and refreshing. Paired with cantaloupe melon beautifully.
Tasted on Oct. 4th and 5th, 2008
