1 | Wine | Gewurztraminer, 91 to 95, 2010

"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."

"Bright yellow. Honeyed tropical fruit and spices aroma are followed on the palate by sweet (114 g/l residual sugar), very precise flavors of candied peach, mango and apricot. The wine's sound acidity (5.7 g/l) really extends the finish of this poised wine."
