Vintage: 2004
Alcohol content: 11.5%
Color: golden yellow
Bouquet: spicy, dry orange peel, flowers
Taste: light to medium body, spices, similar to taste canned oranges, tangerine, excellent crisp acidity (most likely due to cold 2004 vintage), medium finish
Recommended food pairing: green chicken curry
Overall score: 4+8+11+5+6+50=84
Price: CZK 150 in 2006
Stopper: cork
Another finding from my cellar. Was a bit afraid when bringing up, but the cork was long and single piece in perfect condition, so as the wine. There is no bitterness and flabbiness Gewurztraminer sometimes can get into if there is no acidity. This wine is quite opposite, it is clean in the nose and very fresh and zesty in the palate with proper aged structure. It is more similar to Alsace than to Moravia.
