Zind Humbrecht Gewurztraminer Clos Windsbuhl – 2012

“The cooler terroir of the Clos let the 2012 Gewürztraminer Clos Windsbuhl ripen slowly up to extra ripeness with a small percentage of noble rot whereas the acidity remained stable. The golden-colored wine opens with a deep and intense, very mineral but also aromatic bouquet of lemon zests, ripe peaches and limestone flavors. Full-bodied, elegant and powerful, this rich, intense, and persistently mineral and well structured wine develops a great complexity and length, whereas the residual sweetness of 50 grams is well integrated. Also, the tannic structure gives this excellent Gewurz from the famous Clos an excellent aging potential.” The Wine Advocate
