Famille Hugel Gewurztraminer Grossi Laue 2010

Aromatic, with abundant ground spice, citrus peel and fresh-chopped herb flavors, this vibrant, medium-bodied white shows a creamy palate of melon, peach skin, candied kumquat, lychee and guava, backed by racy acidity and a mineral element. Drink now through 2028.

The 2010 Gewurztraminer Grossi Lae is clear and fresh on the nose, and very dense and almost oily textured on the initially sweet palate. This concentrated and firmly structured 2010 is still very young and slightly bitter in the finish, but very promising.

Good pale, bright yellow. Highly expressive aromas of canned peach, candied mango, cinnamon, nutmeg, lichee and cured meats. Round, ripe and pure, with deep, pliant fruit and spice flavors offering plenty of varietal character. This very refined gewurztraminer is lifted on the long finish by fresh balancing acidity.
