Does Gewurztraminer Age?

Also Ostertag, lieu-dit Fronholz. That is not very dry though.

Don´t forget the Grand Cru off-dry Gwz. While certainly not age-less, a GC Gwz may develop for upwards of ten years, if from a good producer. We had several bottles of GC Eichberg from Leon Sorg, who is an honest but not superb producer (his brother Bruno is better); they were very enjoyable 2001-02, and had definitely evolved (there is a [TN] I posted back then). In an ideal world, a wine from a GC vineyard should have greater staying power - it certainly appeared to be the case here.

FWIW, last year I enjoyed a taste of the 1967 Associated Vintners Gewurztraminer at the winery's (now Columbia Winery) 40th anniversary celebration. It was a beautifully expressive and fruity wine, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it happened to hold up over the decades.
