Lea & Sandeman review
One of Alsace's great gems and one of the world's greatest white wines. This will richly textured but beautifully balanced wine will develop over the next twenty five years into something quite extraordinary.Other reviews and comments
From a mosaic of small parcels in this gypsum-rich Grand Cru planted in the 1930s to Pinot Gris, Riesling (both “red” or “black” variants!), Gewurztraminer, Muscat, and Sylvaner, Deiss’ 2007 Schoenenbourg smells bittersweetly of iris, freesia, fennel pollen, crystallized ginger, and candied orange rind. Hugely rich and carrying a load of sugar, it nevertheless displays uncanny transparency to inner-mouth floral nuances, subtle spices, and alkaline, chalky mineral notes. This shows less finishing sweetness than the 2006 and displays kaleidoscopic flavor interaction. Expect it to dazzle for the next quarter century.
95/100
