2007 Trimbach Gewurztraminer Trimbach Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives, Alsace

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 94 points

The Trimbach 2007 Gewurztraminer Vendange Tardive smells of marzipan, purple plum preserves, litchi, smoked meat, musk, and macaroon. Rich and oily – like a gelee of Gewurz – it loads the palate with the taste-able side of the aforementioned aromatic cast, along with low-toned suggestions of toasted nuts, brown spices, dark honey, cocoa powder, and game pate that contribute to a reverberating chordal finish. This will not only be worth following for 25 or more years, its complexity and richness will also outlast its moderate youthful sweetness.
