1999

Gewurztraminer Altenbourg VT (375 ML)

Signed Bottle

$79

WA 94 (12/2001): The 1999 Gewurztraminer Altenbourg Vendanges Tardives explodes from the glass with roses, lychee nuts, and spices. Full-bodied, rich, and opulent, this is a compellingly huge yet elegant offering. Its exuberant personality possesses candied berries, rose water, violets, mangoes, poached pears, and clove notes. Anticipated maturity: now-2014.

VM 93 (7/2001): Intriguing aromas of jasmine, gardenia, curry powder and minerals. Extremely rich, fat and full in the mouth; dusty but not bitter on the back end. Very spicy and very long. Tastes less sweet than its 102 g/l r.s. would suggest. Stephen Tanzer.

Gewurztraminer Furstentum Vendanges Tardive (375 ML)

$79

VM 93+ (2/2016): Medium yellow-gold. Aromas and flavors of orange rind, lemon custard, pear and cinnamon are complicated by vanilla and a hint of lemony botrytis. Tactile and light on its feet, with bright acidity giving focus to the gooseberry, tropical fruit and flint flavors. Finishes very long, with intense lemon and spice notes. About 15% of the berries were hit by noble rot. Lovely VT. Ian D'Agata.

2009

Pinot Gris Altenbourg Trie Speciale VT (375 ML)

$100

WA 94 (8/2014): The Weinbach 2009 Pinot Gris Altenbourg Vendange Tardive Trie Speciale features caramel apple, mango chutney, and liquefied heliotrope and lily in a flamboyant display of ennobled fruit concentration, decadent perfume, and spice. Seamlessly polished, it pours out generous sheer botrytis honey on a creamy, expansive mid-palate and prodigiously, seductively sustained finish. Crystallized ginger offers stimulating counterpoint in a superb performance likely to merit revisiting through at least 2035.

VM 93 (11/2012): Bright golden yellow. Very intense aromas of passion fruit, strawberry, truffle and caramel apple. Rich and thick on the palate but with fresh acidity framing and extending the ripe citrus, tropical fruit and smoky creme brulee flavors through a very long, creamy finish. Thistastes likean almost SGN-level VT without muchbotrytis, but the numbers--116.5 g/l residual sugar and 6.1 g/l total acidity--do not prepare the taster for its massive mouthfeel.

Pinot Gris Altenbourg VT

$90

WA 92 (10/2002): Smoked mirabelles are found in the aromatic profile of the 2000 Tokay-Pinot Gris Altenbourg Vendanges Tardives (80 grams of residual sugar per liter). This thick, medium to full-bodied wine is jam-packed with satin textured tropical fruits. Lush and soft, its plump, flavorful character is extended through its long finish.

2014

Riesling Cuvee Colette

$50

WA 91 (10/2015): Formerly named Cuvée Catherine, the 2014 Riesling Cuvée Colette is a tribute to Cathérine's mother Colette, who lead Domaine Weinbach to one of the most prestigious white wine producers in France. Aged 87, Colette Faller died earlier this year just nine months after her younger daughter Laurence. The wine is sourced from old vines on the sandy bottom of the Schlossberg Grand Cru and was bottled June 2015. There are clear and lemon-fresh fruit aromas on the quite intense and concentrated nose, which displays a flavor of candied lemons. Highly elegant on the palate, the wine starts round, intense and almost rich, but is also stunningly precise. The finish, however, is straight and very mineral, and reveals a stunning purity and a salty aftertaste with some floral and herbal aromas. This is a complex and age-worthy wine on 1er Cru level with a minerality that is never austere.

2015

Riesling Cuvee Colette

$50

VM 92 (3/2017): Bright straw. Exotic fruit notes of pineapple and papaya on the nose, plus a higher-pitched lime element. Then sweet and dense but juicy and energetic in the mouth, offering very good cut and spicy elements. Really spreads out to coat the entire palate. Finishes long and aromatic, without the youthfully chewy impression of the Schlossberg Riesling. In fact, this is not surprising, as it’s made from vines grown on the bottom of the Grand Cru, which is sandier and has a good presence of degraded granite, which tends to give wines that are rounder and more exuberant (just like Colette herself) than those picked from the Schlossberg’s higher sections. These vines are 45 years old on average (not 35 as I wrote last year). Readers should note that up to and including the 2013 vintage, this wine used to be called the Riesling Cuvée Sainte Catherine (without the “Schlossberg”). (Drink between 2020-2032). Ian D'Agata.

WA 91 (3/2017): The 2015 Riesling Cuvée Colette is from the bottom of the Schlossberg and is grown on a more sandy soil. The wine displays a very clear and elegant bouquet of bright and fresh fruits intertwined with discreet flinty flavors. Round, piquant and elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, intense, lush and well-structured Riesling; it has a fully ripe and concentrated fruit, well-dosed power and a very good tannin grip. It is still a bit reductive and tight, but indicates an excellent ageing potential. The Cuvée Colette was named Cuvée Catherine until the 2013 vintage. "It is a tribute to her, although she always refused it during her lifetime," says Catherine Faller. The wine was bottled with 13.67% alcohol and 5.95 grams of sweetness, but tastes drier than the Cuvée Theo.

Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg

$50

2007

Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg (1.5 L)

OWC; Signs of Old Seepage; Cracked Wax Capsule

$100

WA 91 (4/2010): The Weinbach 2007 Riesling Schlossberg smells of apple, pineapple and grapefruit; is clear and refreshing on the palate; and delivers cleansing fresh fruit accompanied by tingling salinity, citrus zest, and fruit skin in a long finish. This will be a delight to follow for at least a decade.

VM 91 (11/2008): Very pure aromas and flavors of ripe nectarine, lime and minerals. Quite juicy and precise in the mouth, with the wine's firm minerality and excellent acidity (8.2 g/l) giving it an even drier impression than its 5.7 r.s. would suggest. Laid-back, penetrating riesling-classic 2007. Should make a superb fish wine. The crop level here was just 34 hectoliters per hectare due to loss from hail, which Faller said was actually more of an issue in some of the estate's pinot gris and gewurztraminer parcels. Stephen Tanzer.

2004

Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg SGN (375 ML)

$127.50

VM 96 (12/2006): Racy, spicy, rot-ennobled aromas of fresh pineapple, crystallized citrus peel, orange marmalade and honey. Glyceral-thick and silky on entry, then the bracing acids take over the palate, giving extraordinary intensity and penetration to this exhilarating wine. A great expression of pure botrytis, with a mounting, palate-staining finish that goes on for minutes. This will make for great drinking over the next 20 years. This one hit my G-spot. Stephen Tanzer.

WA 95 (3/2017): Served during a dinner at the Auberge de l'Ill in June 2016, the 2004 Riesling Schlossberg Sélection de Grains Nobles showed a very clear and precise, yet subtle and elegant bouquet that still reflected the Schlossberg terroir. This was also the case on the palate, where it wasn't the sweetness and concentration of the Riesling that was the most fascinating feature, but instead the great finesse, freshness and mineral piquancy. This SGN is full of intensity and tension, and the long and persistent finish reveals a stimulating grip.

2013

Riesling Schlossberg Cuvee Ste. Catherine (1.5 L)

$150

WA 94 (10/2015): A greenish citrus color opens the 2013 Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg Cuvee Sainte Catherine. Concentrated lemon and some grapefruit aromas along with a touch of honey and dried apricots on the nose. The wine is intense and rich on the palate, more baroque than the 2014, but still very elegant and dry, with a very long and salty finish. I would store it at least for another five years so that the richness can become more round and delicate.

2000

Riesling Schlossberg Cuvee Ste. Catherine L’Inedit

$50

WA 95 (10/2002): The exceptional 2000 Riesling Schlossberg l'Inedit bursts from the glass with super-ripe exotic aromas. Its lush character bastes the palate with unending layers of chamomile-laced minerals and pears. Satin-textured, highly expressive, and deep, this wine's intricate personality is exceedingly long in the finish.

1996

Tokay Pinot Gris VT

$75

WA 94 (6/1999): The 1997 Tokay-Pinot Gris Vendange Tardive displays enthralling aromas of apricots and pears dripping with honey. This medium-to-full-bodied, thickly-textured wine has admirable focus, balance, and powerful super-ripe peach flavors intermingled with white raisins. It is intensely concentrated and complex.
