Tasting notes
Amazingly broad and rich with gingerbread hints and considerable smokiness. Very full, rich, syrupy texture but with a dry finish. Still quite astringent. Obviously lots more to give. No hurry. (JR)

(13.5% alcohol with 71 g/l r.s.; from a tiny crop harvested with only a small percentage of botrytized berries) Spectacularly perfumed nose of smoked meat, ginger and lichee. Silky, rich and extremely deep, with lovely inner-mouth aromatic character. Wonderfully smooth, graceful gewurztraminer, with no rough edges.
