Great Alsace: 1990 Tokay Pinot Gris, Vendange Tardive, Hugel

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
