Wet stone, lychee, stone fruit, amazing value!! — 9 years ago
Lychee notes, sweet but not too heavy, tastes distinctly like apples, slight butteriness to the finish, especially when paired with heartier food — 10 years ago
At this price point arguably the best Torrontes expression I've come across. Floral and citrus nose, broad mid palate with still sufficient acidity and some peach and even minty tones. The after taste however is the impressive part, boasting sufficient rose water and lychee impressions to challenge any self respecting Elzas Gewurtztraminer. Too bad for the hotness due to the high alcoholic content, and the bit of unpolished bitterness at the end, but again at that price point an impressive total package. — 10 years ago
Beautiful notes of lime, honeysuckle and lychee. Perfect pairing with a fig tart. Tart with medium acidity. — 11 years ago
Delicious lychee bubbly fresh! — 11 years ago
Lively gooseberry, pineape. Janine and lychee with a waxy appeal — 11 years ago
Gorgeous lavender, lychee aromas with hints of rose petals & cashews. Lovely elegant mouthfeel. Seamless waves of fruit and subtle acidity make it well rounded and balanced. Beautiful wine. — 12 years ago
2015 vintage. Good aromatics and lively freshness. Poached pear, apricot, yellow apple, honeysuckle, lychee. A pillowy softness helps as a counterpoint to zippy acidity. — 8 years ago
Off dry. Notes of pear, lychee, and honeysuckle. Some floral notes, but not as much as traditional gewürztraminers. Some acid (though I would like a little more). Still a great summer wine to pair with spicy food. Great value. — 9 years ago
smells like lychee and the ocean — 9 years ago
Incredibly aromatic nose of honeysuckle, lychee and white peaches. Palate is refined and delicious. Pure. Finishes dry. — 10 years ago
Rich in aroma, flavor, and texture. The oak was there but what caught my attention more was the white floral and lychee notes. On the palate it's dense, extremely pure, with a huge finish that shows acidity buried down deep in the wine. Great stuff if you can try it, a benchmark from one of the greatest sites in Condrieu! — 10 years ago
Holding up well for the age. Very late harvest Riesling esque. Dried aged lychee dried apricots. — 11 years ago
Amazing spice on the nose with petrol, Apple spice, minerals and lychee nut. Big apple spice, peach and petrol on the palate, with a great baked apple lingering finish. Great stuff. Worked well with curry. — 11 years ago
Highly off dry. But well balanced. Lots and lots of lychee. Very nice. — 8 years ago
An old favorite I haven't seen in some time. Pale yellow in color, lychee and pear notes in nose as promised on label, maybe some other tropical or pineapple note. Tangerine, lychee and pear flavors in mouth, floral and tropical fruit finish with mild mouth-coating astringency. A day later, date and pineapple flavors emerge. Almost bone dry, well made. Better with food but a worthy dry GT, and a benchmark — 8 years ago
Our dinner for the evening. Beef-pork frankfurters with turmeric-jalapeño sauerkraut and Curry ketchup on a potato bun garnished with fennel seeds. Accompanied by a 1l, high acidity, lychee-finishing Alsatian white blend - 45% Riesling, 25% Pinot Blanc, 15% Gewürztraminer, 12% Pinot Gris, 3% Muscat. - DAY 2 - ø Nota Bene ø this is also an excellent wine to pair with sushi. The subtle interplay of flavor in traditional sushi really brings out the diversity evident in the blend. — 10 years ago

drink it now! honey, crushed rocks, lychee, honey dew, kiwi, all singing in beautiful harmony, but probably for only a few more years. — 11 years ago
Very rich, subtle rose aroma but predominant lychee flavours both carry and enrich this wine. — 11 years ago
One of my favourites, takes me right back to asia. Lychee, ginger and rose petals!! — 12 years ago
Pronounced intensity, with aromas of green bell pepper, asparagus, apricot, and freshly cut grass. On the palate, lychee, grapefruit, lemon, and bell pepper with a long finish. — 13 years ago
