Note di degustazione
The magnificent, rose and lychee-scented 1998 Gewurztraminer Hengst is full-bodied and oily-textured. Thick, yet fresh, detailed, and polished, it is packed with lychee nuts. The wine's high level of alcohol (15.9%) slightly shows through the dense fruit, but its extroverted, focused, and fruit-dominated personality more than makes up for it. Projected maturity: 2002-2012. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 524-1524.

Pungent, extravagantly rich, soil-inflected aromas of smoked meat and lichee. Splendidly layered in the mouth; powerful, medium-sweet and framed by strong acids. Coats the mouth with mineral dust. The longest yet of these '98 gewürztraminers. Very impressive.
