Riesling Sélection de Grains Nobles--Vintage 1976
Alsace. Hugel
Slightly corroded capsules. Slightly bin-soiled labels. Levels: nine 3 to 4cms, three 4.5cms below base of corks
Tasting note: One of Hugel's greatest Rieslings...In 1997 at Gidleigh Park, a half-bottle: good colour; fabulously honeyed bouquet of great depth; fairly sweet, still quite a bite. Most recently, at a masterclass conducted by Etienne Hugel at Vinopolis: now with pink-gold orange tinge; hefty, concentrated sultana-like fruit; drying out but still rich and ripe; sustained by very good acidity. Now a brassy touch to its old gold, but very bright; perfectly harmonious, creamy nose; very sweet, lovely texture, peachy flavour, complete, well-balanced. Last noted at Hugel's Vendange Tardive tasting, London, April 2002. ***** M.B.
