An Expansive Tasting at Hugel (Riquewihr, France): Slightly deeper yellow. Lowed toned bruised red apple on the nose. Medium weight, rich feel, stronger oak imprint. Sweeter, richer, and creamier than the 2021 Estate but less soil and acidity. I preferred the former less expensive wine for its leaner style and greater sense of terroir.

Light yellow in the glass. Surprisingly crisp acidity after 11 years, this wine still has some steam. Slight reduced nose with some vegetable notes. In the taste sweetness with taste from melon and peach. The aftertaste has some nice citrus tones and lasts very long. Stands strong against every form of spicy dishes.

Tasted at winery. 100% from Pflostig grand cru vineyard. Old oak, small barrel. Pale yellow with green tint. White flowers, spices, melon, lemon, cream, hazelnut. Off dry, thick texture, long spicy finish.

Tasted in Riquewihr. Mushroomy, slight sweetness, lovely acidity. Would be good paired with risotto or a fish in butter sauce.
