"Fine aromas of caramel, lychee and spice, turning more delicate on the palate, despite its breadth and weight. Well-balanced, with a lingering aftertaste of rose and spice. Very pure and detailed. Drink now through 2015." 94 points - Wine Spectator, October 31, 2006
"The rose and violet-scented 2000 Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives is a plump, rich, medium-bodied wine. Yellow fruits, raspberries, strawberries, and apricots can be found in its sultry character. This highly expressive wine also possesses a long, pure finish." 93 points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Issue 138, Dec. 2001
"Healthy pale gold color. Highly perfumed nose combines candied citrus peel, mirabelle and cinnamon. Brisk, spicy and intensely flavored; not at all overly sweet or heavy for late-harvest gewurztraminer. I obviously caught this wine at an awkward stage two years ago, because it has turned out very well." 91 points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Nov/Dec 03 |
