Malivoire 2004 Gewurtztraminer
(about 1 year ago) buddy icon barrelmonkey 70.0/100
(Tasted at Boston Thanksgiving with dinner) NOSE: slight lychees, lemon rind, hint of grapefruity-bitterness, rose petal, faint orange and spices. Interesting, delicious nose. The combination of lychee, rosepetal and slight spices put me briefly in an Indian fruit market. Beautiful. PALATE: fruity and full-bodied, with no midpalate hole, the aromatics came through retronasally. Very sweet - syrupy body, with low acidity and bitterness from the midpalate to the finish. Felt slightly sick after the first sip. Not my style. ASPECT: brilliant golden color. "good color" according to GV. COMPARISON TO BARMES BUECHER: sweeter, less lychee characteristic, more complex nose. OVERALL: Great to smell, can't drink it. OBSERVATION OF GEWURZ AT THIS POINT(2 bottles tried): I love the nose, more than any other white wine. It resonates with my memories of Indian fruits. However I can't stand the sweetness and the bitterness. SCORE: 70 points on the nose alone.

Tasting 1/2 bottles of this wine. Darkening in the bottle, nose of tropical fruits, lychee, still smells nice. Full bodied with a touch of sweetness and typical gewurtz bitterness. It's turning into a very nice, odd wine as it ages. Pair with chicken biryani or thai basil noodles.
