2012 Gewurztraminer Reserve

Dark, bright yellow. Captivating honeyed tropical fruits and sweet spices on the classic Gewürztraminer nose. Opulently spicy, rich and ripe in the mouth, with smoky tropical fruit flavors complicated by notes of iodine, sweet spices and flowers. Readers ought to take note that this outstanding wine tastes slightly sweet. Match it with white meat dishes involving cream sauces or mushrooms, or with a spicy pumpkin soup. An archetypal Gewürz of the big and opulent kind, as opposed to the spicy/floral style. Apr 2015, www.vinous.com, Drink: 2015-2020
