- TheEngineer - 04-23-2005 Yuck............. My first Gewurzt....not my last...but this one was truly bad. Nose initially okay...of lychee and smelled suppled....taste was completely unbalanced. I got hit with fruit, and separately a saltiness and separately a high alcohol sense at which point a bitterness came through....argh....this one meet the ocean really quickly... Did I hold onto this one too long? - wondersofwine - 04-25-2005 I don't think it's a matter of age. Suggest you buy a Trimbach Gewurztraminer--easily found and sometimes available in the half bottle size so you wouldn't be spending much to try one. Trimbach is a reliable producer and one I like (although I seek out gewurz with even more of the spicy characteristics). - TheEngineer - 04-25-2005 Thanks and roger wilco on the Trimbach. I know I have to give Gewurztraminer another try as so many like it so much. [This message has been edited by TheEngineer (edited 04-25-2005).] |
