WTN: 1993 Louis Guntrum Trockenbeerenauslese "Tradition"
Posted: Thu Jun 08, 2006 3:11 pm
I was in the mood for something sweet and yummy, and this wine fit the bill. 12% alcohol, deep golden color, aroma of apricots and honey which speaks of botrytis, it is flavorful, with flavors that run to orange honey and a hint of almonds. Good acidity, and a nice long candied finish. I don't know that I'll ever find tba for $3.99 again (this was a closeout), and this was my last bottle, but I'm happy to have tried it. I'm not sure what grapes were used in this "Tradition" bottling, but it is delicious in any case. AP Nr. 4 252 245 2 94. Jim's rating: Yummy! By the way, the Guntrum estate seems to be changing. Their website (I googled Louis Guntrum) is quite interesting. The estate is in Nierstein in the Rheinhessen. Jim
