“ From vines averaging 48 years of age, the 2018 Gewurztraminer Clos Windsbuhl offers an aromatically still discreet yet spicy and yeasty-scented nose of roses, lychees, Indian spices and crushed stones in a shy yet substantial way. Full-bodied, round and grippy on the palate, this is a rich and (not overly) sweet Gewurz with soupier tension on the aromatic and fruity, very complex and persistent finish. Like all the wines from the Muschelkalk terroir of the Clos Windsbuhl, this is a seriously complex and tensioned yet still underdeveloped wine that needs at least two years to gain in finesse and easiness. Bitter orange flavors and toasted, salted peanut flavors on the finish. Very, very promising!”
