March 11, 2017 - A visit to Zind Humbrecht (Alsace, France): This was made in 1976 by Leonard Humbrecht and bottled in January, 2017 by Oilvier Humbrecht. The first is my high school graduation year. It is rose hips tea in color (think a reddish iced tea). There is a lot of alcohol in this - 63.1%. The nose has alcohol for sure but there is a bit of fruit there. It comes across as peach to me. On the palate, this is intense. I am not sure if I imagine it or it is there, but I did get some Gewurz qualities. There is also a nice shot of alcohol. A little goes a long way, but I found it enjoyable. Considering the alcohol, reasonably smooth. I bought bottle 364/370 so I guess there is not much left.
