Score 94/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2011

Bright yellow gold. Hypnotic, explosively perfumed bouquet evokes rose oil, orange zest, apricot and spicecake, along with a hint of juniper; smells like Hendrick's gin. Weighty but lithe, offering sweet pit and orchard fruit flavors complemented by orange zest, spices and a strong lashing of candied rose. Extremely sweet and nectar-like but in no way syrupy, finishing with excellent clarity and spicy thrust. This essence of gewurz clocks in at 9% alcohol.
