Bestheim – Vendanges Tardives, Gewurztraminer 2015 – Alsace

The nose is fruity, juicy and well-built. It reveals notes of quince and mirabelle plum associated with small notes of quenette, candied kumquat as well as touches of exotic fruits and hints of flower. The palate is fruity, juicy, well- balanced and offers a good definition, an acid frame, a fine suavity, a good freshness, roundness as well as tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of crystallized lemon, crystallized brugnon and small notes of green apple associated with small touches of mandarin, exotic fruits as well as hints of fresh white fruits, quince and discreet hints of honey (in the background). Good length.
