WTN: 2008 Trimbach Gewurztraminer, Alsace

14% abv. Pale gold color with greenish tinge. Fruit and spice on the nose--almost a spiced peach note and some ginger and mace. Tastes a bit sweet. Stayed pleasurable through three evenings. I had it with chicken and broccoli one evening and also with shrimp. I was surprised by how well this held its quality for more than five years after harvest. It still has some acidic zip.

I wonder what the current release is. Trimbach always seems to release a little later than most, even the yellow label wines.
