2016 Zind Humbrecht Gewurztraminer Hengst

Bright golden-tinged yellow. Archetypal Gewürz nose of tangerine nectar, grapefruit, rose, violet, cinnamon, cloves and honey. Very large and broad on entry, and very glyceral, this seems sweeter than it really is (27 g/L r.s.). Multilayered and deep, a powerful spine providing support to the opulent tropical fruit and spicy flavors. Finishes tactile and very long. Another knockout Gewürz from Zind Humbrecht in a vintage that will not be otherwise remembered for great Gewürztraminers. 95+ points
