Issuing as usual from near the base of the Altenbourg, Weinbach's 2010 Gewurztraminer Cuvee Laurence smells of mint and crystallized ginger along with intimations of marzipan, candied walnut and nougat that lend an at once confectionary and delightfully piquant tone to the wine's creamy palate. Pineapple and lychee deliver juiciness and typicity. Subtle sweetness offers support, without exaggerating the flavors in a soothing, lingering finish. Plan to follow this wine through at least 2022. - David Schildknecht
