"Expressive notes of very ripe Williams pear are met with the floral overtones of rose and honeysuckle. The medium-sweet palate then adds the juicy richness of Mirabelle plums and juicy sweet mandarins to the mix. This is expressive, very full-fruited but also zesty and long. Lovely now but certain to evolve. Drink until 2028. Anne Krebiehl MW"

"A touch of quince plays about the rich notes of peach and tangerine on the nose. An aromatic notion of dark fir honey leads onto a medium-sweet palate of ripe peach, zesty tangerine peel, golden mirabelles and lemon. The citrus elements provide a high-toned brightness that works very well with the sweet juiciness and richness of the palate. On the palate it is the wonderfully aromatic zestiness that lasts and lasts."

"Not overly sweet, this offers a spicy character on top of a touch of honey and fresh lemon flavors. It's surprisingly and attractively delicate for a Gewurztraminer, and ready to drink now."

"Gilbert & Gaillard" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Gewurztraminer Kessler" from the vintage 2008 on 01.02.2014 with 91 of 100 points.
"Glistening golden hue. Expressive, endearing nose intermixing candied fruit notes, fresh mushroom and fruit butter. Savoury freshness, expression and balance on the palate. A stylistic exercise nicely controlled by the right amount of acidity."
yr. 2004 Wine Enthusiast:
90 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Gewurztraminer Kessler" from the vintage 2004 on 01.07.2013 with 90 of 100 points.
"Mid-gold color. Intense on the nose, showing lots of developed aromas of savory earthiness and honey, with hints of botrytis and spice adding complexity. Quite dry, with dominant earthy savoriness and spice following through on the palate alongside flavors of dried apricots and golden raisins. Smooth, rich and viscous but balanced by fresh acidity. Fairly full-bodied, with a fairly long rich finish."
yr. 2007 Gilbert & Gaillard:

"Gilbert & Gaillard" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Gewurztraminer Kessler" from the vintage 2007 on 01.06.2013 with 93 of 100 points.
"Brilliant yellow-gold. Alluring nose with wonderful honeyed, spicy and overripe touches. Mellow attack, splendid voluptuous and melted stuffing, refined spice and candied touches and a delicate underlying freshness. A superlative, delicious wine, ready now."
yr. 2005 Wine Enthusiast:
92 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Gewurztraminer Kessler" from the vintage 2005 on 01.01.2012 with 92 of 100 points.
"Taking its name from a small valley in the Keisler Vineyard, this is an opulent, rich and fragrant wine. The rose flavor is integrated into the ripe, spicy texture. It has a suggestion of dryness, but at the same time the richness offers a sweeter character."
yr. 2007 Wine Enthusiast:
88 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Gewurztraminer Kessler" from the vintage 2007 on 01.01.2010 with 88 of 100 points.
"The deep color and viscous, almost oily texture attest to the high level of concentration in this wine. Unusually, the nose is more mineral than fruit, while some cinnamon flavors peek through in the mouth. Soft acidity and high residual sugar suggest it should be consumed all by its lovely self."
yr. 2002 Wine Enthusiast:
90 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Gewurztraminer Kessler" from the vintage 2002 on 01.01.2005 with 90 of 100 points.
"Oily and musky on the nose, giving the impression of great concentration and ripeness--an impression that's borne out by the impressively rich pear and honey flavors. Slightly sweet, but balanced by good minerality. Imported by Maisons Marques & Domaines USA."
yr. 2001 Wine Enthusiast:
89 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Gewurztraminer Kessler" from the vintage 2001 on 01.01.2005 with 89 of 100 points.
"Oily in texture and a trifle sweet, this luscious wine coats the palate with flavors of very ripe grapefruit and lychee. Aromas are more restrained, showing pear and melon, while it finishes long, with echoes of spice."

"(2001) Positively deep pink colour. Some lusciousness on the nose, notes of lychee and guava, but also a grapefruity citrus. Once more tha plate tingles with acidity, keeping it clean, and though medium-bodied, quite lightweight."

"VertdeVin" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Gewurztraminer Kessler" from the vintage 2015 with 93 of 100 points.
"The nose is aromatic, racy, slightly powerful and offers a small complexity. It reveals notes of apple, litchi and small notes of flowers associated with discreet hints of exotic fruits, fleshy peach as well as an imperceptible hint of racy minerality and spices. The palate is fruity, suave, well-balanced, elegant and offers a good definition, a fine mineral frame, a very fine tension, precision, fat, roundness as well as a fine freshness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of quenette, litchi and small notes of fleshy peach combined with fine touches of mango, discrete hints of ripe citrus (sweet pink grapefruit, sweet lime) as well as an imperceptible hint of flowers and rose."
yr. 2010 VertdeVin:
92 of 100 Points.
"VertdeVin" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Gewurztraminer Kessler" from the vintage 2010 with 92 of 100 points.
"The nose is aromatic, elegant, fine and relatively intense. It reveals notes of exotic fruits (papaya, a touche of quenette and lychee) associated with slight notes of zest, flowers as well as a slight note of quince, candied peach and a touch of coriander. The palate is fruity, fat, gourmand, balanced, complex, quite intense and offers freshness and residual sugar. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of yellow fruit (brugnon, apricot) associated with slight notes of marmalade, candied peach and flowers. Good length and persistence."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Domaines Schlumberger Gewurztraminer Kessler" from the vintage 2000 with 91 of 100 points.
"Exciting musk and peach aromas make for an attractive, pure nose. More peach fruit drives the palate along with melon and cinnamon. When it transitions to the finish, things turn smoky, dry and more complex. This is very well made and should find wide appeal."

"Clear straw colour. Fine intensity on the nose combining with notes of mineral and opulent fruit. The palate has medium weight, moderate sweetness, spicy and yellow fruity notes on the finish and quite good length."
