Tasting notes
The 2009 Late Harvest Gewurztraminer is redolent of lovely dried pineapple, rose water and lemon marmalade aromas plus nuances of dried apricots and musk. The palate is as equally lovely and sweet as the seductive nose with 90 grams per liter of residual sugar lending a rich and unctuous texture to the long finish.

Pale gold. Intense and inviting aroma of very ripe apricots plus pineapple and a note of honey. Gewürztraminer's classic rose-like perfume is just discernible, more so on the palate, but the botrytis apricot and orange dominate. Some delicate almond character too. Unctuous and deeply sweet but with the acidity to keep it balanced. Viscous without being heavy. Delicious and with the potential to age further. (JH)
