This is the first time Olivier Humbrecht has fashioned a late harvest Gewurztraminer from his parcel of Clos Windsbuhl. The jammy apricot-scented 2001 Gewurztraminer Clos Windsbuhl Vendange Tardive leads to a massively deep character packed with sweet white peaches and yellow plums. Medium to full-bodied and lush, this powerful, super-ripe, smoky wine is pure and exceptionally long in the finish. Projected maturity: 2005-2020. In response to requests from consumers for more information as to the character of his non-Vendange Tardive or Selection de Grains Nobles wines. Olivier Humbrecht has devoloped an "indice" scale which appears on the label of each bottle. This indice ranks from 1 to 5 the perceptible sweetness of the wines, and Humbrecht describes it as follows: "1 is totally dry; 2 is not technically dry but the sweetness is not apparent on the palate; 3 is medium sweetness that may gradually disappear with aging; 4 is sweet wine; 5 is for high sweetness, a Vendange Tardive in richness but without botrytis." Humbrecht is to be commended for instituting this system as it will immensely aid consumers.Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524
