Schlumberger Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Kitterle 2015

This had not come my way since the big Cros Parantoux tasting held in 2003 and based on this most recent bottle

all wrapped in an impeccably well-balanced and lingering finale

There is fine intensity to the mineral-driven and generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent mid-palate concentration and a caressing mouth feel

The succulent and impressively concentrated flavors are almost viscous as well as highly seductive

There is once again an appealing sense of energy to the lighter weight flavors that deliver solid punch and persistence on the balanced finish

The 2014 Vintage Port is part of our mini-vertical this issue

A brooding but well-layered nose combines notes of both red and dark currants

they will even sell 2008 before 2005 and 2006

with an exceptional nose of crème de cassis

mouth coating and delicious medium-bodied flavors possess excellent length on the well-balanced if youthfully austere finish that also really firms up as it sits on the palate

This isn't quite as floral as the Amoureuses but it's even spicier with its purple fruit

500-liter oak foudres
