Community Tasting Notes 10

    August 10, 2019 - 10 08 2019 Zind-Humbrecht Gewurztraminer Hengst 2007
    Very dark, almost oxidized color. Hypnotic white flowers in the nose with notes of orange, ripe peach, tropical fruit. On the palate a great fat viscosity feeling soft on the tongue. Plenty of sweetness but held together by a fine acidity. Orange, honey, melon, notes of nuts. Toward the finish a bitterness and little harsh acidity that kind of “frame” the full experience. Olivier Humbrecht is for sure one of the greatest winemakers in Alsace.
    This is a wine for food; cheese or foie gras terrine would be a perfect match in my opinion. I would say this is full mature. Might develop further, but I am not sure. 94+ P

    August 11, 2018 - Lychee jumps out of the glass. Some people around the table thought it was a riesling but for me it can't get any more Gewürztraminer than this on the nose. Color is dark gold. In the mouth it has allot of weight and viscous. The taste is not very spicy but the lychee and tropical fruits are very present. Still can understand how one can get this much concentration of tropical fruit from pressed grape. It is not dry for sure and would have actually made a good desert wine instead of drinking in the beginning of the meal.

    October 14, 2017 - Une couleur et texture très sauterne, sans le côté sucré de ceux-çi. Ananas, pêches, fruits confits et un léger aspect floral. Aucune acidité et la longueur est plus que bonne. Beau vin qui m’a complètement déjoué à l’aveugle. Belle découverte et vin de la soirée pour moi!

    October 14, 2017 - Mon vin de la soirée !! À l'aveugle, on a été complètement déjoué par cette bouteille. On a un vin liquoreux, sans être sucré. Peu d'acidité, de l'ananas et de la pêche confite, des noix rancis, un léger aspect floral, la longueur est bonne. C'est un vin vraiment intéressant à déguster, j'en acheterai pas, mais c'est une très belle bouteille de dégustation.

    3,5/5

    October 13, 2017 - Pêches confites au nez +++. On dirait presque un sauterne sans le côté sucré. Très Bonne longueur. Marmelade en bouche pêche encore. Aucune acidité. C'est très différent de ce que j'ai l'habitude de boire. C'est bon mais pas pour en racheter par contre mais belle expérience.
