The 2006 Gewurztraminer Terminum Vendemmia Tardiva is a late-harvest dessert wine made in a sumptuous style redolent of sweet passion fruit, mango, spices and French oak. The wine reveals gorgeous length on the palate and a long, lingering finish. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2016.
Tramin makes a remarkable range of wines. The entry-level bottlings are reviewed in Issue 178. These top of the line selections merit considerable attention.
