Domaine Gerard Metz 2004 Gewürztraminer, Alsace

This old vines Gewurztraminer virtually bursts out of the glass with fragrances of flowers, peaches and spice. On the palette it is ripe, rich and opulent with a fine texture and a long, fruity, spicy finish. It drinks well young, but will develop more complexity with some bottle age. Drink as an aperitif, with spicy Asian foods or with dessert.
