* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Lightly perfumed wine, with flavors that are off dry, soft and creamy. Almonds, quince and pear give the wine ripeness, but the finish is rather soapy.

Pleasant, with broad appeal, this wine opens with Poire William, mineral and rose notes, followed by Asian spice on the tongue. There’s noticeable sweetness here but a spicy character keeps it from being cloying. Serve with Pad Thai. Drink now.

A very pretty wine, with intense aromatics of crushed flowers and passionfruit. The palate is flavorful, crisp and refreshing, winding up with a tangy, citrus-accented finish. Serve with light fish preparations.

This wine presents an unusual aroma profile with notes of dough and cheese overlaying a base of mineral and lime. The palate is simple and austere with a short finish redolent of peaches. Overall, a bit disappointing for a Grand Cru.

Crisp and freshly simple Riesling. There are attractive green fruits, good acidity and a bright perfumed aftertaste. Not for aging.

Attractively perfumed Riesling, its fresh acidity matched by white currant fruits and a tight edge of minerality. Good, crisp final brightness.

Soft wine, light in texture, some spice and tropical fruits. There is freshness, well integrated into an attractive, ready-to-drink wine. Screwcap.

Smoky, dried fruit-flavored wine. There is some sweetness, its ripe currant flavors boosted by a broad texture and some spice. The acidity seems to be missing.

Classic spice and lychee aromas lead to a wine that is medium sweet, attractive but one-dimensional. It has perfumed, candy shop flavors, almost exaggerated. Screwcap.

Exotic perfumes and fruits dominate this wine. Its flavors are all about perfumes, a texture that only hints at minerality. No question about the variety here.
