1998 Riesling Jubilee, Hugel, Alsace, France
Appearance: deepish yellow green gold.
Nose: some kerosene, plus slightly aged qualities: honey and cheese. Beautiful Alsatian nose with decaying spiced apple notes.
Palate: excellent acidity, basically bone dry, powerful but not huge alcohol, some good honeyed fruit, very sophisticated.
Conclusion: a brilliant wine. We love the Hugel Jubilee range which is still good value for money and very age-worthy, usually.
Rating: 18.5/20
