The 2017 'Cuvée Theo' from Domaine Weinbach was aged for ten months in oak prior to bottling and was sourced from the Clos des Capucins vineyard, which is set on sandy silt soil with fractured granite. The wine shows moderate sweetness with ripe candied ginger, sweet peach, mango and apricot tones, with a racy minerality. Complex and highly gratifying now, this stunning wine will continue to evolve for well over a decade. Drink 2019-2035-93

Like most gewirtz, the actual taste never measures up to the promise of the nose... but MAN, what a nose this one has. Lychee and roses. Beautiful. Lacks mid palate but really a world class version.
