Amazing wine but just not as absolutely delectable as the 71 — 11 years ago

Dopff & Irion

Schoenenbourg Alsace Grand Cru AOC Riesling 2007

This was a vendages tardives (late harvest) digestif. Not too sweet, but definitely a dessert style wine. Excellent. — 11 years ago

1970. Expansive and precise. Great acidity still holding it together. Marvelous. Great minerally undertones. — 10 years ago

Interesting. Saw some aged Gentil a bit ago and thought it would be totally spent. Guess I'll have to reconsider next time.

@Jason Rzutkiewicz I think this was definitely on the back side of its life, just a fun wine to taste.

I was ruling out a '99. Didn't strike me as an ageable style.

Domaine Trapet Père & Fils

Riquewihr Gewürztraminer 2011

Morgan Harris
8.9

A nice example. Gives a lot on the lychee-floral-aspirin spectrum without being too lush. About 10 grams of RS, low cheesy-smokey character. No-very low botrytis. It'll never be my grape, but this is absolutely text book. — 11 years ago

Hugel et Fils

Sélection de Grains Nobles Alsace Tokay Pinot Gris 1990

Honey and apricot. Orange nose. Ultimate desert wine. Enough acidity to be refreshing. Crime broiler. Cartelized. — 11 years ago
