Hugel Gewurtztraminer 2000

[quijote]

Today I tried my first Gewurtztraminer ever--I opened the bottle of Hugel 2000 Gewurtz, and I was very disappointed. I didn't pick up much of any aroma, and the wine tasted slightly spicy on the palate and in the finish, but there was a rather mineral (slate or pebbles) undertone to the taste. Is this the way it's supposed to taste? Or perhaps the 2000 vintage has passed its prime? Or maybe my cold from two weeks ago closed down my sniffer?
