Gewürztraminer Cuvée des Seigneurs de Ribeaupierre 2005

- 92 points -

Honey, rose petal, peony, sweet pea, bacon fat, and cinnamon in the nose of the 2005 Gewurztraminer Seigneurs de Ribeaupierre (incorporating Osterberg and Hunawihr fruit) lead to a rich yet rather firm palate with a “cool” chalky impression, its 15 grams of residual sugar practically neutralized by (for this grape) unusually high acidity and palpable extract. Refined, elegant, and deftly-balanced, this finishes with persistent juiciness, eloquent, enticing florality, and subtle spice.

About Wine Advocate

The Wine Advocate was a bi-monthly publication and Robert Parker Wine Advocate continues this tradition, although articles and reviews are now published every week. The main goal is to publish regionally focused reports, which mainly offer wine reviews of new wine releases, but they also produce important vintage retrospectives and occasionally single-label verticals and producer profiles. Since 2019, Robert Parker Wine Advocate has been a wholly owned subsidiary of the Michelin Group.
