Kuentz-Bas 2007 Alsace (Alsace) – Fading, which is a bit of a surprise; this was meant to be an early-drinking, fresh and friendly blend, but it’s only four years down the road at this point. Perhaps a failed seal. What’s left is semi-thick and semi-spicy, with wan structure. (6/11)

[label]Kuentz-Bas 2004 Alsace (Alsace) – Neither lush and spicy nor overly austere, this blend rides the fine line between flavor and nervosity, and rides it well. Melon and dried lime vie with a light minerality and firm acidity for supremacy, but mostly this wine is about its fine structure. Drink it soonish. (8/07)

Kuentz-Bas 2004 Alsace (Alsace) – Simple spiced pear, apple and very mild rock undertones. Exceedingly pleasant, which of course is all this wine tries to be. (7/07)
