Gewürztraminer 2005 Vintages and Tasting Notes
Updated 04/06/2007
On these pages I'm beginning to build a listing of tasting notes gathered from the internet, other sources, and my own personal experiences. I hope as time goes on that I will be able to taste many of these vintages/labels, especially those already enjoyed by Ms. Sue Courtney (identified with a 22Aug2004 style date code in the notes) and compare taste buds. I also list other winery vintages I have yet to taste myself or have found other tasting notes for. Those identified with an * are in my cellar either awaiting uncorking, or have been and my taste impressions await inclusion in description.
Important: If you know of a Gewürztraminer wine not listed, and /or have tasting notes for the wine, or have tasting notes for a wine already listed (whether it has notes already doesn't matter), please contact me with your information. Whether you're a winery, winemaker, or just love to drink wine, please feel free to add to these listings.

5 TBDWeegmüller Haardter Bürgergarten Gewürztraminer Trocken Alte Reben 2003, "This is already a minor legend, having caused Ulli Mell (superstar cellarmaster currently at Basserman) to "fall off his chair" on first encounter with this monster. The wine is a dragon, schnappsy and seethingly varietal and long; as dense as if it were blended with its own grappa. It has considerable focus for its size. It's not really my kind of wine but shee-it, it's such a total freak." Terry Theise, Importer NOTE - This is a pre-arrival (futures) item. The 2003 German futures will arrive between late Oct 2004 and Feb 2005 (with few possible exceptions delayed further). $27.99, Source
