2018 Domaines Schlumberger Les Prince Abbés Gewurztraminer Alsace

JS92 A prototypical Alsace gewurz with plenty of lychee and pineapple character, delicate spice and a satisfying balance between full, creamy body and an almost dry, spicy finish that’s long and rather complex. Drink now.
Estate Notes: The robe is golden yellow with green reflections of good intensity. The disk is bright, limpid and transparent. The wine shows youth. The nose is marked, pleasant and intense, and sophisticated, with candied and overripe scents marked by exoticism: grapefruit, passion fruit, papaya, spices and ginger. The airing enhances these scents and reveals mango as well as a slight floral hint of peony. The onset in the mouth is moderately ample and mellow. The class of the vintage tempers the extent of the grape variety. Marked by a sophisticated and subtle aromatic palette, this profile is remarkable.
Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with shrimp curry in coconut milk, a cumin poultry fricassée with mustard sauce, or even a soft and washed-rind cheese. The suggested serving temperature is 54°F.
