Score 94/100 · Drink 2004-2024, Pierre Rovani, Oct 2002

The 2000 Gewurztraminer Goldert Vendanges Tardives reveals lychee nuts, roses, lilies, mangoes, papayas, and rose water aromas. This intense, muscular wine exudes prodigious waves of jammy peaches and apricots. This medium to full-bodied wine is oily-textured and has an impressively long, if a touch alcoholic, finish. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2024. Olivier Humbrecht describes 2000 as "a year of excellent ripeness where the key to success was sorting out the bad rot prior to harvesting." To accomplish this, Humbrecht sent out teams to go through every parcel, dropping whatever bunches had been infected with sour rot. Domaine Zind-Humbrecht's harvest lasted 6 weeks, with one-fourth being accomplished between September 19 and October 5th, and the remaining three-fourths picked by October 31st. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524

Withdrawn nose hints at rose petal, cinnamon and clove. Superripe and sweet, with bright acids framing the flavors of candied peach and yellow plum. Not quite as distinctive as the Hengst, but this has lovely tangy sweetness. Finishes with a bit of youthful aggressiveness.
