Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Pale lemon color with medium+ intensity aromas of floral, ripe stone and citrus fruits with earthy herb notes. On the palate flavors of ripe peach, apple, lemon citrus, apricot, melon with wet stone mineral. Vivid acidity with great mouthfeel on medium+ dry mineral finish. Can age a bit but is very good now for optimal freshness. — 8 hours ago

One of those interesting reasons where it taste better the colder it is. It’s strange that whenever you let certain Reese’s warm up the flavors become Clabie and structured. Of course maybe that’s just me. The crisp apricot and peach and stone fruit flavors are definitely there in spades, very delightful on a hot day.  — 2 months ago

*pic of the white wines* One of the wines I supplied for an annual lunch hosting (co-host this time), along with the 2018 Morlet LpD. 2009 was the last year Hugel used “Jubilee” before moving to “Grossi Laüe”. This is Hugel’s “Grand Cru” selection from their Schoenenbourg vineyard.

Undeniably Alsatian Riesling in the glass from first whiff…floral, minerals, and only slightly TDN (petrol) aromatic driven, but noticeable power. Vintage (and age) has helped this reach a fantastic drinking window where acidity and flavor profile are in balance and not fighting each other. Ripe herb-crusted yellow fruits alongside limestone/mineral in a powerful profile. There is warmth to this vintage and it makes an appearance in how fleshy the wine is (which is great). At almost 16yrs, there is no rush, but this drinking window is exceptional. — 12 days ago

Back at Select having oysters and crudo, and the 2022 vintage holds up well. Dry, crisp, slightly tart, no sweetness. — a month ago

WotY finalist. WTF nose of caraway, felt pads, molasses and oregano. Mouth is insane fresh with laser tag structure. More savory Crème brûlée than Riesling. — 9 days ago

Another excellent vintage of this Alsatian classic. Blend of Gewurtztraminer (30%), Pinot Gris (24%), Riesling (19%), Sylvaner (18%), Pinot Blanc (6%) and Muscatel (3%). Pale yellow color with light green highlights. Fresh aromas and flavors of green apple, Asian pear, white flowers, quince, lemon and tropical fruit. Touch of spice on the long, nutty and crisp finish. Medium bodied and well balanced. Bracing acidity, nice structure and bone dry. So fresh and clean. Thanks for the glass, Chris B! — 20 days ago
