Kuentz-Bas Cuvée Caroline Vendange Tardive Gewurztraminer 2007

Gaining intensity from the verve of its acidity, this well-meshed version displays creamy lychee, apricot jam, and blood orange flavors in a just off-dry format. This is a powerful wine dressed up in refined clothing, and its intensity builds, accentuated by a spicy undertow, through to the lip-smacking finish. Drink now through 2027. Score - 94.
