Hugel Gewurtztraminer 2000

[Thomas]

quijote, your nose may have been shut down a little, but then I have to say I have lost whatever enthusiasm I once had for Hugel Gewurztraminers. They seem to be run-of-the-mill produced these days; there is a kind of manufactured quality to their taste profile, as if they cover all the so-called Gewurztraminer bases, without being interesting. They also seem often to be out of balance toward the alcohol or "sweet" side (which might be the same problem; high alcohol can seem sweet).

The mineral undertone is not unusual for Alsace.
