  This ten-year old wine is a wonder. Completely pale in color and fresh like it was bottle this year. The wine is full of flowers and crisp exotic flavors. There is a slightest hint of sweetness and so gorgeous. A testimony of Hugel’s prowess in the expertise of winemaking. Lovely.l and tasting like it was a very young wine, except better.

  Still good, had lost its sweetness and turned into more complex, even somewhat elegant. Positive surprise!

  The wine looks blonde colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like lemon and grapefruit. It tastes like pineapple. The body is light. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity.

  A few years in the cellar has been good to this wine. Has lost a little of its freshness but instead it has gained weight and complexity. Now showing more sweet tropical flavors and smoothness but still just enough acidity to keep it in place. We enjoyed this with asian chicken curry and spring rolls. Drink now and within the next 1-2 years.
