Score 93/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
(15% alcohol and 41 g/l r.s.; represents a yield of just 17 h/h) Very fine aromas of candied pineapple, smoked meat and rose oil. Tightly wound and very pure, with a compelling penetrating sweetness. A powerful, highly concentrated gewurztraminer with superb fruit and lovely balance. Finishes with palate-staining persistence.
