Domaine Bernhard & Reibel Gewürztraminer 2005, A.C. Alsace
color:
very light yellow with green.
Nose:
expressive, spicy, flowery (rose petals), fruity (lychee's) and with
impressions of honey, both fresh and a touch sweet, clean and
attractive.
Taste: medium-bodied, medium intense, fresh,
some restrained sweetness, round, mild, spicy, herby, impressions of
rose petals, lychee's, tea and some honey, clean and refreshing, well
balanced.
Finish:
medium intense, expressive, fresh, clean, with alcohol, herbs, spices,
flowers and some honey, clean and honest style.
* A refreshing, modest and
honest Gewürztraminer, round and smooth with a tiny touch of
sweetness, spicy-fruity (lychee's), flowery (rose petals) ripe and
mild, aromatic and well balanced, good and pure eco-wine.
- Drink this wine when it
is still young and fresh. It can age to a certain extend, but this does
not bring much extra to this wine. Drink before 2009.
- A remarkably consistent "basic"
organic Gewürztraminer from a strong minded and quality oriented producer,
providing all you expect from a good and sound Gewürztraminer;
aromatics,
smoothness, roundness and as a bonus a delicious freshness that
balances the low-key sweetness very nicely. An honest and
pure wine.
A far cry from the over-heavy and sweet Gewürztraminers too often
found
on the shelves. The more luxurious cuvée's (e.g.) Hahnenberg from the same producer
posses more depth, concentration and refinement, but sell at other
prices.
