1 | Wine | Gewurztraminer, 86 or higher, 750 ml

"Fresh and soft, this brims with spicy pineapple and floral flavors, finishing with mild sweetness."

"Soft in texture, with a delicate feel to the grapefruit and honey flavors, lingering gently on the lightly sweet finish"

"This delicate white, displays notes of orchard blossom, candied lemon zest and tangerine, with a minerally subnote that builds toward the finish. Shows good concentration in a dry and elegant package, with a long, finely textured finish."

"Well-defined and balanced, this shows clean notes of star fruit, melon rind, smoke and orange peel, with a thread of mineral salinity. Structured without being overpowering, this is dry and tangy, and would be a fine match for light seafood."

"Yellow with a gold tinge. Very ripe yellow fruit aromas complicated by subtle gingery spices and flowers on the expressive nose. Complex and pure on the palate, with a tactile umami charater to the ginger and ripe peach flavors. Ripe acidity nicely frames the wine's dense, rich fruit. Very concentrated and long, finishing with a lightly tannic impression. Sweeter than the Calcaire bottling but a bit less intellectual than that wine."

"Medium gold. Perfumed and ethereal yet somehow rather low-pitched on the nose, with aromas of flint and smoky minerality dominating. The palate offers outstanding breadth and solidity, with a strong mineral/acid spine enlivening the flavors of meat, spices and lichee. Broad, tactile, powerful gewurztraminer with a resounding finish."

"Straw-yellow. Bright aromas of smoked sausage, tropical fruit cocktail and cinnamon. Less massive than the Laurence but more elegant, offering flavors of honeyed apricot, cinnamon apple, smoky minerals and wet earth. Finishes smooth and long, with repeating notes of papaya and mango."

"Bright yellow-gold. Pink grapefruit, candied orange peel and smoked pork on the nose. Then rich and deep on the palate, with noteworthy lift and precision to the flavors of tropical fruits, minerals and flowers. Offers superb richness and depth, as well as enough acidity to give shape to the wine. Impressively balanced and very long."

"Mirabelle, marzipan and nutmeg on the expressive nose. Sweet, dense and highly concentrated, with real generosity and freshness to its fruit flavors. There's a spiciness here from botrytis. Finishes tactile and powerful." Reviewed by Stephen Tanzer.
