Dark sherry straw and an almost cloudy suspension. Bottle etched inside. Some classic Gewurztraminer essences intact, but faded. Light petrol, spice and buttered toast/popcorn. Sweet caramel and banana. Should have been drunken a couple years ago, clearly. This–with Navarro–is one of the best New World interpretations of dry, Alsatian-style gewurzt. And this bottle is from the old days of fording the creek to the winery and visiting with the old German couple. This one has lost a considerable portion of the magic. Great cut-grass and butter on the palate, with crisp acidity still present. Round and full on the tongue, but fading off into warm roundness and lacking a lot of the amazing nuances we revisit aged Gewurztraminer for over and over. Glad I opened it. 0.0% RS 14-2 ♦♦
