VM 93 (11/2008): Bright straw-yellow. Pure, sexy aromas of spiced meats and clove. Broad, spicy and fat with fruit; as rich and horizontal as this is in the mouth, it also boasts terrific definition and subtlety. This, too, tastes sweeter than its four grams of sugar would indicate. But note that this wine will doubtless come across as drier and even more classic by the time it's released: Beyer was about to ship the 2003 (!) at the time of my visit. An outstanding vintage for this bottling. Stephen Tanzer.
WA 90 (10/2015): From a great vintage, the 2007 Gewurztraminer Cuvée des Comtes d’Eguisheim shows some caramel and bacon flavors along with notes of white pepper on the nose. Very elegant and very dry on the palate, this rich and intense wine is well structured and finishes with a nice grip, but is also somewhat bitter in the end. Is that due to the heating alcohol or/and the low sugar level? Honestly, I was expecting a little bit more from this highly regarded millésime, namely balance, tension and length. |

| VM 90+ (11/2003): Pale gold color. Explosive fruit aromas of peach, quince and orange zest, complicated by butter and smoke. Big, rich, dusty and chewy, with a flavor of orange marmalade. Very dense, strong pinot gris with noteworthy inner-mouth energy. Finishes very long, with no impression of heaviness. It's becoming increasingly difficult to find seriously rich but dry pinot gris like this. Stephen Tanzer. |

VM 91 (11/2008): Bright yellow-straw color. Superripe, nuanced nose combines orange, smoke, menthol and stone. Glyceral-rich but fruit-driven, with penetrating acidity framing and intensifying the peachy flavor. Dense with extract. The long, tactile finish leaves the salivary glands quivering. High in alcohol at 14% but not hot, perhaps due to its impression of low pH. Stephen Tanzer.
WA 91 (4/2010): Truffle, peat, and hazelnut on the nose of Beyer’s 2007 Pinot Gris Comtes d’Eguisheim lead to a palate of impressive richness yet incorporating the citricity and salinity that made the estate’s basic 2007 Pinot Gris so distinctive. Ripe peach, well-concentrated meat stock, and attractive fungal and forest floor note carpet a voluminous yet firm palate and lead to a long, stimulating finish. This should keep well for more than a decade. |

WA 92 (10/2015): The wine that is currently in the market is the 2007 Riesling Cuvée des Comtes d’Eguisheim. From "one of the finest vintages ever" (Marc Beyer: "Hot days and cool nights with practically no precipitation in September ensured optimal ripening conditions after a rather cold summer"), the 2007 delivers rich and intense aromas of white fruits along with floral and herbal (chamomile) flavors, whereas caramel and honey notes announce the maturity. Full-bodied, quite rich, and intense with a rather soft and well integrated acidity, but good tannin structure and a nice bitterness in the long and aromatic finish, this very elegant Riesling reveals a lovely maturity and perfect drinking condition. This is a great and highly intense Riesling classic with generous 13% alcohol but less than 3 grams per liter of residual sugar.
VM 91+ (11/2008): Pale yellow. Cool aromas of powdered stone and ginger lifted by a whiff of orange peel. Dense and quite dry, with superb precision to its stone and spice flavors, as well as an intriguing suggestion of tropical fruits that no doubt reflects the late harvest. This classic riesling finishes with explosive length and terrific cut. This is a full 13% alcohol, with less than three grams of residual sugar. Stephen Tanzer. |

VM 93 (2/2016): Dark golden-yellow. Diesel fuel, baked apple, caramel and botanical herbs on the nose. Then tangy in the mouth, showing slightly high-toned aromas of orange oil, pineapple and sweet herbs. A very concentrated, big wine but with a fine-grained texture and just enough freshness on the long, saline, palate-staining finish. Less acid-dominated than I might have expected from a 2008. Drink between 2017-2030. Ian D'Agata.
WA 91 (5/2011): Scents and palate suffusion of iodine and shrimp shell reduction lend the Beyer 2008 Riesling Comtes d’Eguisheim every bit as minerally a cast – albeit of a very different sort – as its Ecaillers counterpart. High-toned whiffs of pit fruit distillates and mothball pique the nose. Saliva-inducing, saline savor is mingled with yellow plum and zesty grapefruit, while hazelnut, pistachio, and fruit pit add piquancy to an impressively sustained finish. This is a surprisingly voluminous rendition of Comtes d’Eguisheim, yet in its way also as minerally a one as you are likely to encounter. Expect it to be worth following for the better part of two decades. |
