The 2023 Kuentz-Bas Riesling is an example of what me truly fall in love with this entire style of Alsatian wine. A soft hue of chartreuse meets the eye, and does not lie. After a bit of a breathe the nose is lush and grassy in all the right ways. The palate is where it shines, bringing oodles of wet stone, delightfully gum-soaking minerality, and a finish that defines this style of Riesling. This is in the top three when we pair it with anything spicy- particularly creole- but any spice will do.

Superb. Such intensity and linearity and youthfulness even at 8 years old. It’s a baby still. Gloriously balanced and drinks beautifully right now, but I can’t help but wonder what’s to come as it opens up over a decade or two. Love it! — 7 years ago

Gun powder, fresh grape juice, honey on the nose. Very nice. The palate is sweet but balanced with a sheer acid backbone that drives it very far. Nice layers of fruits and honey on the sides and an everlasting grape and honey finish that lingers. Very good and not heavy at all — 8 years ago

N: yellow flowers.

Palate: some spice. Apricot. Not super dense. Glycerol.

Beautiful golden color. Intense fruit on the nose followed by the same on the palate-lychee pear melon honey. Touch of sugar. A great Alsace Gewurtztraminer!! — 5 years ago

Floral on the nose, tastes of bruised peach and nectarine with a little acidity... Delicious on a warm Sunday afternoon... — 7 years ago

Natty Riesling from the Pfersigberg Grand cru in Eguisheim. Quite aromatic. Ripe fruit, peach, mineral notes and hints of herbs. Medium bodied, quite ripe and round — 4 years ago

Fascinating comparison with its Pfersigberg sibling from the same vintage. It’s a little more developed — fleshed out a bit with some luscious fruit flavours — but still young. Great wines. — 7 years ago
