White	2019 Baron de Hoen Gewurztraminer Alsace Gewürztraminer more	Options Post a Comment View KaupCava's profile Report Issue 5/8/2024 - KaupCava Likes this wine: 90 points I don’t believe I’ve ever had Grand Cru Alsatian Gewurztraminer, so initial taste came as a shock, thinking along the lines of a late harvest or even ice wine. I can appreciate the tropical fruits, with profound lychee fruit coming through loud & clear. Maybe a bit on the flabby side, would prefer more acid to balance this wine. Since I bought 2 bottles, I’m looking forward to letting the second one cellar for another 10 yrs in hopes of something magical resulting! Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
