2015 Clos Windsbul Gewürztraminer, Domaine Zind-Humbrecht


2015 Clos Windsbul Gewürztraminer, Domaine Zind-Humbrecht
A very fine wine, but...
The nose is deep, compact and multi layered with gorgeous notes of lychee, autumn yellow apples, hay, nuts and detergents. Very complex.
The taste is rich and concentrated with notes of ripe flowers, lemon pie, warm gravel and hay. The finish goes on an on. 
But... what is it? What to pair it with? The nose indicate a semi sweet wine, the intial taste is semi dry and the end finish is dry. A wine for contemplation. But I guess more than one will be surprised when opening a bottle, expecting to find a dry food wine.
