Zind-Humbrecht Gewurztraminer Hengst Sélection de Grains Nobles

Wow. Pours a medium tawny in the glass, from 375ml. Intense, developed/ing aromas of brown sugar, lychee, dried apricot, dried persimmon, rose potpourri, jasmine, roasted & dried, candied pineapple, quince paste, marmalade, honey, Earl Grey tea, smoke, clove, and wet stones. In the mouth, the wine is unctuously sweet, full bodied, med acid, full bodied, low alcohol (8.5%?), intense on the palate with a long finish. Overall, outstanding, drink or hold. I think this wine's immortal- but there's no harm …

Lukter av rosin, honning og appelsin samt noe karamell. Intenst søt i munnen, mest rosiner og karamell men også noe sitrus. Mindre syre og friskhet enn en riesling, men super likevel. Ekstremt viskøs. Veldig god til stilton. Må drikkes i ørsmå doser.

Nose of honeycomb. Unbelievably sweet at first, then with some air nice acidity comes to the fore. A great great SGN.

An informal dinner at an anesthesiologist's (Marseille, France) : Blind tasted, served at 12'C. Impressiv texture, very very thick, almost like syrup. Ginger hue, like an twenty years old Sauternes. Nose explosing of apricot, vanilla, and pine apple jam. And it is the palate witch transport you to the frontiers of what a wine can be :a spendid vivacity carries the jammy elements outside of earth on an infinite line: Quince jam, pawpaw, green apple juice, orange caramelised peal. How …

Nose of sweet green clover; Big sweet entry hits you over the head

EWS 2007 Zind-Humbrecht Preview (Warwick Hotel, NYC) : Nose of sweet and sour sauce but in the glass this is scary good. Honey and apricot...just a winner. 1000 1/2 bottles made and scarce as a hen's tooth. WOTN.
