Réserve Alsace Gewürztraminer
Alsace, France
Really lush, but excellent under the right circumstances. Those would likely be very porky, cheesy, salty, oily or spicy circumstances.

Love this winemaker. I had the pleasure of meeting Jean at his winery. Melon & honeysuckle, ripe pear on nose. Palate reminds me of my German grandmother's Rumtopf! Thank you Jean for sharing your lovely wines. I can't wait to visit Alsace again. 2012 vintage.

It’s no wonder Gewurztraminer is one of the four noble grape varieties in Alsace, France. 👏👏👏 It’s uniquely expressive, perfumed, rich, and oily with youthful and pronounced aromas 👃 of lychee, açaí, papaya, mango, pineapple, also sweet spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and rose, stargazer lily, elderflower, and wet stone. 🤩🤩🤩
👁 This wine is deep gold. 👄 It’s dry with a modicum of residual sugar. It has medium acidity, a medium(+) body, medium alcohol, and pronounced flavors, consistent with the nose, including notes of lychee, açaí, papaya, mango, pineapple, also sweet spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and rose, stargazer lily, elderflower, and wet stone. The finish is medium(+).
We’ve paired this wine with grilled vegan brats and roasted zucchini.
Albert Boxler, Gewurztraminer, Vintage 2018, ABV 13.5% (on the cusp of high alcohol).
Cheers to it almost being the weekend(?)!

Massive fruits/fruit cocktail syrup, marmalade, ginger spice and lychee. Bitter sweet dry finish, slightly heavy weight. Awesome stuff! Bumping this up .1 for a more concentrated, still amazing taste two days later.
