Gewürztraminer, Hengst--Vintage 1996
Alsace, Zind-Humbrecht
In original carton
"The light gold-colored 1996 Gewurztraminer Hengst was made from 20 hectoliters per hectare, achieved 14.5 natural alcohol, and was bottled with 1.2 residual sugar. While it tasted somewhat closed, it will make a spectacular Gewurztraminer for those willing to wait 1-2 years. It offers a rose water, intensely spicy, pineapple/grapefruit-scented nose, followed by powerful, thick, juicy flavors, and a large-scaled, massive, off-dry finish. It should last for 10-15 years." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #119 (Oct 1998)
