Hugel Gewurztraminer

[Innkeeper]

1996 Hugel, Appellation Alsace Controlee, Gewurztraminer. At its peak, with no sign of fadding, gave flowers and spice on the nose and upfront. Apparent (if not actual) sweetness of the fruit balanced the acidity to wrap the whole thing up in a nice package. Lingering finish. Very nice wine. Matched nicely with grillpanned ham steak and spinach. Also, with the strawberries for dessert.
