Critics Ratings
'The 1989 Gewurztraminer Selection de Grains Nobles has leafy/minty, apricot, fruit cake, dried and candied fruit aromas, with some spicy/white pepper aromas. Highly elegant, intense, and sweet but elegant and balanced, the wine is very powerful, intense, rich, long, very complex, and with strength and length. A fiery SGN. 2015-2040.' - Stephen Tanzer, Wine Advocate, 95/100
