Kaefferkopf Alsace Grand Cru AOC Gewürztraminer

Domaine Maurice Schoech Kaefferkopf Grand Cru Gewurztraminer 2016

So I thought it was off dry to subtly sweet, and then I learned it has 32 grams of RS. In short, I probably have diabetes.

Juicy, exotic spice...great fun to drink. Grand Cru technically, but since it's a field blend, it's declassified

Unctuous yes but lacking enough acidity to balance the richness of the wine. Definitely off-dry and nicely restrained Gewurztraminer spice but it doesn't quite come together for my taste. I respect it but don't love it.

Soft round sweetness is king, oily, spice, and fruit pith on the end, medium body, floral bouquet, striking gold color.

Contrary to one of the prior notes, I get enough acidity and minerality to balance the more unctuous qualities. This strikes me as having classic balance so long as an impression of bone dryness is not expected .

A touch of sweetness, moderate acidity, moderate alcohol, but wow. Beauty
