1998 Hugel Gewurtztraminer Alsace Vendanges Tardives -- Major League Gewurtz: huge floral and cotton candy nose; powerful lychee and cantaloup melon flavors capped by waves of orange, reminiscent of the smell of orange blossoms; thick, oily texture; after 25-30 minutes of air and warmth, opens up to reveal creme brulee and caramel flavors as well; still has a future; long finish. App. 92-3 pts.
