Zind Humbrecht, Heimbourg, Gewurtztraminer 2000

Yellow, slight gold.

Smoky, roasted botrytis aromas with pineapple preserves underneath.

Very sweet initial impression, with framing acidity and "chew" slowly showing themselves. Very tasty and deep, but one-dimensional. Unfortunately missing the spicy, floral lift of great Gewurtztraminer. Or is it swamped by sugar?

15% alcohol

Day 2 - More spicy/floral today (warmer wine temp.) - lichee candy, grapefruit zest too. This translates into the mouth. Still, this is a very good, but not killer, example.
