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. |

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. |

Gewurztraminer Hors Choix SGN Signs of Old Seepage |

| WA 96 (4/2010): The 2007 Gewurztraminer Selection de Grains Nobles Hors Choix represents a cuvee designation that the Trimbachs also utilized in 1989 and 2000 for wine of near Esszencia-like richness. Essence of rose petal along with mirabelle preserves, mint candy, and brown spices on the nose are joined on a thickly-rich palate by honey, chocolate, and white raisin. Yet for all of its richness and gaudy, candied set of flavors, this preserves a juicy sense of leavening and refreshment in a finish of extraordinary persistence, its sweetness not in the least cloying. This should be a 50 year wine. |
