Zind Humbrecht, Hengst, Gewurtztraminer 2000

Gold/copper.

Deep orange marmalade, lichee candy and a slight roasted botrytis note on the nose.

Deep and seemingly quite sweet in the mouth. A medley of fruit jams/marmalades - pear, orange, grapefruit - with a spicy/roasted botrytis element that lifts the flavors and cuts through the sweetness. Lightly chewy finish, remarkable, given the density and richness here. Huge wine (16% alcohol) that works extremely well.
