Note di degustazione
Loads of flowers, mostly roses and violets, are found in the aromatic profile of the 2001 Gewurztraminer Goldert (indice 2). Lush, medium-bodied, and suave, this expressive, medium-bodied wine offers supple spicy white fruit and red currant flavors. Drink it over the next 6-7 years. In response to requests from consumers for more information as to the character of his non-Vendange Tardive or Selection de Grains Nobles wines. Olivier Humbrecht has devoloped an "indice" scale which appears on the label of each bottle. This indice ranks from 1 to 5 the perceptible sweetness of the wines, and Humbrecht describes it as follows: "1 is totally dry; 2 is not technically dry but the sweetness is not apparent on the palate; 3 is medium sweetness that may gradually disappear with aging; 4 is sweet wine; 5 is for high sweetness, a Vendange Tardive in richness but without botrytis." Humbrecht is to be commended for instituting this system as it will immensely aid consumers. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524

(15% alcohol with 21 grams of sweetness) Subdued aromas of smoke and earth. Smooth and spicy in the mouth, showing more fruit and inner-mouth perfume today than the Hengst. Complex notes of ginger, caraway seed and white flowers. Less dusty than the Hengst and distinctly more showy today. Finishes with strong but subtle fruit and spice notes and noteworthy persistence. Comes across as only slightly sweet.
