Showing beautiful for its age, seriously

Nov 11th, 20171cm dry cork, soaked through the rest of the way.
Just medium plus gold color. Rather youthful hue given the age.
Faintest hint of terpenes but then hazelnutty developed oxidative savory aromas. Smells like old white wine but still hanging on. Slight candied sour apricot.
Dry, medium body, medium alcohol (12%) medium acid, slight bitterness. Seems to have seen a touch of oak? Pretty elegant at this point but not showing much complexity.
I'm frankly amazed this is still drinking nicely.

Incredibly bright and fresh on the nose. Fresh fruit. Crisp, structured and long. I can't believe this is so old

Not as floral/tropical or as aromatic as I expect a gewurztraminer to be, but a solid wine.
