A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. It's been a good long while since I've found an Alsatian GWT that I've been tempted to buy in quantity. Finally I've found one. This reminded me a lot of the Bott and Dopff GWTs I used to buy in the mid-'70's for $4-$7/btl. Although fairly rich & textured, it has a good acidity to balance the richness; but not the overblown flabby character w/ gobs of hedonistic fruit that characterizes the Z-H style of modern Alsace GWT. I see no reason this wine won't go for another 10 yrs.
