Another bargain from the clearance sale. This was severely reduced to under $8, but I couldn't tell you the original price.
A very big nose – I'm thinking canned pineapple.
Damn - this is a huge Gewurz. Honey, spiced stone fruit – peaches, apricot, even some pineapple and mango – solid acid – just big all around. Lots of floral notes, spice, and lychee. Big alcohol too – the label reads 14% - quite high.
Some nice spiced stone fruit lingers on the finish for some time.
This is good stuff – big yet balanced. It's surprisngly sweet for a wine from Alsace and there's nothing to suggest it, but I'd treat this as a dessert wine. If you tend to go for sweeter wines it may work with dinner, but I wouldn't recommend it.
