(2013) Certainly perfumed and exotic as Gewurz should be, but as always the intelligent folk at Viñas del Vero in Somontano leave plenty of crispness and crunch on the palate to offset the hint of residual sugar sweetness and abundant fruity character.

(1998) Very pale, almost transparent green/gold. Subtle, new-oak and cinammon nose. Rather a raw, woody impression on the palate initially, seeming a little hollow and lacking fruit. Re-tasted later in the evening from a different bottle and there was more fruit, though still rather under-powered. Vivid acidity in the good, long finish.
