OLivier skriver: "There is no doubt that 2007 had the perfect climate and vintage condition for gewürztraminer in Herrenweg. It explained a perfect physiological growth and high maturity, as well as some good noble rot development on some of the oldest vines. 2/2009: the nose shows ultra typical intense rich flowery nose (old roses, geranium) and litchi fruit. With time, there is more obvious spicy flavours developing, but there is no doubt at all on the nose, this is intense rich gewürztraminer. The palate confirms simply everything the nose already showed before. There is perhaps a nice sensation of minerality on the palate, which comes certainly also from the noble bitterness and high concentration of the grapes."
