Hugel cuvée des amours Pinot blanc... I love Pinot blanc done well and this is an exceptional example.
I cannot believe for one, how inexpensive this wine is, and two, how it is normally reviewed by the pundits. Phrases like "drink up within first couple years of life" or "lacks this and that"
This is really good stuff and for an 06 it has aged nicely. It goes to show that Alsace is a tremendous source of value in the wide world of wine.... I usually dont expect a whole lot from Sylvaner and Pinot blanc but this is right on par...
Golden color with aromas of quince, apricot, peach, and mandarin orange.... Smells sweet but tastes dry. Remind me of a huet clos de bourg (sec) in a lot of ways. Surprisingly good and worth picking up a few bottles
