Went deep on these and glad I did. So much depth and structure yet a light dry touch on the palate. — 6 days ago

Clos St. Urbain Rangen de Thann Gewürztraminer 2000

This is lovely. Deep amber in color. The nose is great- tea, spices, a touch of sherry, roses, orange rind, dried flowers. Lovely texture- glycerin and a beautiful balance of sweetness with acidity. Lovely — 21 days ago

Lovely creme brulee aspect with emphasis on the brulee part. VT does not have to be sweet and doesn't have to have botrytis, and this was a good example as it wasn't too cloying at all and had good lift.

Clos Ste. Hune Alsace Riesling 1985

Lemon oil, plasticine, chalk, a tart precision on the finish. Light and complex. Great definition in the nose. A little abrupt on the finish. Not the bottle pictured. Jef ROPP — 18 days ago

Whites and reds from our recent Confrerie Saint Etienne dinner. I was fortunate to take home the last bottle, and I’m glad we have a few extras to keep hidden in the CSE cellar for a few years to see how they age.

This was paired alongside a Gustave Lorentz Gewurtztraminer Reserve, with the food being Lemon Sole. Wonderful pairing. Hardly any whiff of petrol here…more tropical than anything (guava, green pineapple), lemon and limestone. On the palate, this is one of the more commanding and deeply rich Alsatian Riesling’s I’ve had in a while. It’s nervy down the mid-palate, but really fleshed out on the sides…big time balance. Mineral streak, and total Alsatian vibe to it, but all dialed up to 11 (in a good way). Even over the course of dinner, this improved. Still on the upswing.

Cuvée Les Amours Alsace Pinot Blanc 2019

Light golden color. Faint aromas of green apple, pear, white flowers and minerals. More citrus (lemon) focused on the palate along with notes of unripe peach and that ever present hint of minerality. Touch of saline on the long finish. Bristling acidity. So food friendly. This wine is a flavor enhancer. Great Producer, consistent quality and a varietal that I should be drinking more often. — 5 days ago
