A great Gewurtz

[joeyz6]

2000 Trimbach Gewurtztraminer

Yellow with a light golden tint. Spice -- some clove and allspice -- and pear on the nose. Medium-plus body, lots of warm spice on the tongue. Some citrus and nectarine notes. This is very nicely balanced, smooth while having some substance, overall a great wine. I drank this for the "spice" tasting in Great Wines Made Simple and it worked perfectly. I brought all the spices she mentions out of the cabinet and compared them directly to the wine. That's how I was able to pick out the clove and allspice.
