Pithy, lime and grapefruit aroma. A touch of residual ripeness but the bright acidity more than compensates.  Good.

Very, very ripe nose.  Rich vanilla and heavy tropical fruit aroma.  There's a hint of oak texture, but it isn't an oaky wine.  It has the freshness of cool Limari, but with a hit of alcohol.

Spicy and interesting nose. Really draws you in. There's a bit of structure. Might have thought there was some oak in there, but maybe just skin contact and the variety. Perfumed, peachy fruit.  Interesting.

Very light aroma, for Gewurztraminer. There is a hint of GWT on the palate, but almost like an Alsace pinot gris. I think this wine has an interesting flavour.  Not typical, but sometimes GWT can be too much.
