1990 Tokay Pinot Gris, Vendange Tardive, Hugel, Alsace
Appearance: deep green gold verging on amber.
Nose: honeyed, spicy nose, with lingering pear fruit and a gingerbread note.
Palate: rich, fat palate with decent residual sugar but also good acidity and balanced high alcohol. Honeyed fruits are long and the balance here is impressive.
Conclusion: a classic Pinot Gris in this style. Hugel rarely disappoints.
Rating: 18.5/20
