Furstentum Alsace Grand Cru Riesling 2001

Vintage 2001| Proof of a long life for riesling. The colour was really brown, mahony brown. Smell with a very little petrol, more honey. That honey is also present in the taste. Good balanced. Appreciating such a ripe wine is a matter of acquired taste. Paired with a mixed fish stew. — 3 months ago

@Peter van den Besselaar, while I generally love Riesling, I do prefer the German versions for aging. I’ve had (and still have) an odd bottle(s) of 1988 (1989?) Zind-Humbrecht Riesling “Brand”, but I prefer the other varietal bottling from Alsace (with the concession that the Alsatian bottles with the most potential longevity are their Grand Cru Rieslings)!!

@Doug Powers Agreed. I guess the ratio in my cellar is 6:1 German vs French 😉

Alsace Grand Cru Mambourg Gewürztraminer

Killing this with my dad. He says my Mom would have loved this wine. She did enjoy Gewurtztraminer. This is very nice. Some stonyness, honey-like, musty. Clean finish. I’m not a huge Gewurtz fan, but this hits. — 6 months ago

Mambourg Alsace Grand Cru Gewürztraminer 2015

Pale yellow with nose of stone fruit and honey. Smooth on the way down with lychee honey on the palate. Not as intense as the zind humbrecht from the night before. Paired well with scallops and Dover sole. Another good Alsace product. — 5 years ago

Sélection de Grains Nobles Alsace Grand Cru Gewürztraminer Mambourg 2006

Fantastic - if you’re going to grow Gewurtztraminer, this should be the result. Amazing floral nose, deep colour, basically every yellow fruit imaginable at the attack and then a beautifully complex balanced finish that lasts forever. The crowd was very pleased — 7 years ago
