The voluptuous profile of this dessert wine is livened by the gorgeous aromatics that feature floral and spice notes. However, the accent here is definitely on its richness, where apple-custard pie meets candied lychee and cantaloupe notes. It is very concentrated, but the acidity keeps fueling energy that makes it a drink of privilege. A long and creamy finish shows hints of savoriness. Drink through 2048.

The radiant golden colored 2018 Traminer Trockenbeerenauslese No 6 Nouvelle Vague is very clear, precise and spicy on the concentrated and aromatic nose with phenolic and slightly smoky and citrus confit aromas. Full-bodied, rich yet finessed and even subtle, with lingering grip and a salinity complex, this is a fabulous Roter Traminer TBA that was bottled in early December last year with 240 grams per liter of residual sugar.
