2008 Eisacktal / Val d'Isarco DOC Gewürztraminer Obermairl Hof, Alto Adige, Italy

Elegant nose, very slightly artificial notes of melon and lychee, herbs and rose petals, mineral notes. Cool style, in spite of noticeably high alcohol, fairly smooth preserved yellow fruit on the palate, some melon, tea, rose wood and herbs, initially slightly tannic, then becomes more harmonious with aeration, also more deep and complex, mineral notes much more evident after 2 days, integrated acidity, has substance, long finish. We initially underrated this wine, which improved significantly over a period of 2 days.

Best to drink: 2010 bis 2014+. What our ratings mean
