Description of the wine Gewurztraminer Turckheim 2000

Tasting notes
12/2001 : This vineyard was able to ripen the gewürztraminer grape variety to perfection: good ripeness, excellent acidity and fruit character, thanks to perfect skins. The nose is today very aromatic (rose scent, geranium) but not overpowering and is very delicate. The palate is powerful, showing good spiciness and length. The residual sweetness is subtle in this wine, in this case helping the wine to absorb its high alcohol.
