There is great balance to the 2018 Alto Adige Gewürztraminer Vendemmia Tardiva Terminum, with certain aromas that add a savory touch to the wine's otherwise very sweet taste profile. This sort of dessert wine is slightly less cloying than others, with more sage and cumin to contribute to that aromatic balance in this barrique-aged expression. You might reserve this 9.5% alcohol treat for an after-dinner plate of anise-flavored cookies, such as German springerle, especially at the holidays. This is a release of 1,280 nice-looking 375-millimeter bottles.
