Deiss produced two Selection de Grains Nobles Gewurztraminers in 1994. The 1994 Gewurztraminer Burg SGN possesses a whopping 100 grams of residual sugar. It is a rich, chewy, high acid, oily wine that should taste sweeter than it does, but the wine's powerful acids balance out the sweetness. This is actually a wine that could be drunk with foie gras at the beginning of a meal. It should last for 30+ years, becoming drier and drier as it ages. Marcel Deiss's Gewurztraminers are excellent, well-made wines, but it is obvious that Gewurztraminer is his least favorite varietal. For Deiss, Gewurztraminer is just too full-blown and ostentatious to get excited.Readers should realize that the 1994s are exceptionally young, relatively unevolved wines that are just beginning to hint at their potential.Robert Kacher: 2015 Vine Street NE, Washington, DC 20018; tel.
