BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Deep steel-gold. Rather a quiet and uneventful scent, which isn’t the Gewurz ideal. A little torpid ginger if you hunt about. Rather a weighty palate, too, though you realize that it’s here that all the aromas were hiding: The spices emerge through the soft and luscious summer fruit. A fair to good wine that would win a higher score with a more attractive aromatic profile. | 85

Charles Metcalfe | Not a lot of aromas showing here. The palate is similarly dumb. It’s pleasant wine, with good acidity and sweetness, though slightly overt alcohol. Not much length. Doesn’t add up to much. | 77

Jancis Robinson | Deep coppery color. Refreshing nose with strong faded rose-petal notes. A tad low in acidity, but the bitterness compensates. This seems to have been made by someone with a clear vision. Could only be Alsace, with a vibrant undertow. Drink 2013–20. | 91
