Dirler-Cadé Alsace Grand Cru Kitterlé Gewurztraminer 2019

Wide-screen nose of spices and exotic fruit (not just lychee, but also papaya and mangosteen!) Very rich and succulent with enveloping creaminess, but only a touch of sweetness and almost no perceptible bitterness, this is a remarkable gewurz that’s astonishingly easy to drink, thanks to the silky texture and excellent balance at the very long finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Score – 95. (jamessuckling.com, July 4, 2022)
