Zind Humbrecht, Hengst, Gewurtztraminer 2002

Copper.

Roasted, spicy, creme brulee and apricot jelly aromas. Really deep.

Big, sweet, thick entry of grapefruit/apricot candy/jelly/liqueur and roasted botrytis. All lifted by acidity that seems to have a fair bit of the volatile kind. Thick and racy, finishing with vivid dried apricot and roasted/smoky botrytis that is remarkably refined. Just crazy, still trying to figure out what's going on in the glass. Huge length.

Alcohol 15%, Indice 4 (lots of sugar)
