96/100
Wonderfully intense wine with layer upon layer of exotic tropical fruit, floral and spice flavours. Reminds me of the tropical hot house in Kew Gardens. Any tannins are cleverly concealed by moderate sweetness (some from alcohol). This continues to win my vote as the country’s very best Gewurztraminer by a decent margin. Incredible staying power.
