Weinbach Gewurztraminer Cuvee Laurence 2015 (750ML)

92 VM / 91 WA

Good full yellow. Mint, candied orange peel, mango, smoke and roses. Then clean, fresh and very penetrating, with a light tannic quality to the citrus and tropical fruit flavors. Very long and creamy on the suave finish. Made from 30-year-old vines grown at the bottom of the Altenbourg on mainly marly-clay soils that deliver power and finesse. Truly lovely Gewürz.

The 2015 Gewurztraminer Cuvée Laurence comes from the bottom of the Altenbourg (limestone/clay soil) and opens with a very clear, fresh and aromatic bouquet of white fruits and citrus flavors (oranges, kumquat), along with mineral and spicy notes. Round and very elegant on the palate, this full-bodied Gewurz is lush and fresh, very juicy but also nicely mineral and floral. It reveals fine tannins and a lingering salinity in the finish. This 2015 drinks already perfect today, but can go for decades. There is a nice piquancy and mineral grip in the finish. SR – The Wine Advocate
