The 1995 Gewurztraminer Sonnenglanz Vieilles Vignes may ultimately turn out better than the 1995 Furstentum, but it is less evolved, representing a more restrained yet still powerful style of Gewurztraminer. The wine possesses terrific richness and body, all of which is held in place by a tight corset. It has crisper acidity, as well as a more mineral-dominated character. The rose petal, lychee nut, exotic incense and grapefruit character of Gewurztraminer is also well-displayed. The wine's texture should open to reveal considerable intensity. It is a big, dry Gewurztraminer for drinking over the next decade.Bott-Geyl has become one of Alsace's most fashionable young wine producers. Three consistent characteristics of these wines are 1) purity and concentration, 2) multi-layered textures - the result of extended lees contact for 10-12 months, and 3) faithful interpretation of each varietal's characteristics. The wines reviewed in this segment performed exceptionally well, and, for their quality, are reasonably-priced. Importer: David Hinkle, North Berkeley Imports, Berkeley, CA; tel.
