2005 Zind-Humbrecht Gewurztraminer Herrenweg de Turckheim

Dinner at a friend's house.

Louis Roederer Champagne - don't remember which one but it was an NV.

2005 Zind-Humbrecht Gewurztraminer Herrenweg de Turckheim - it was everything I could ask for in a Gewurz.  Explosive nose of lychees and tropical sweetness, honey and a bit of marmalade.  I could imagine how ripe the grapes were that year, as there was still a good amount of sugar left even after fermentation to 15%!
Full post on dinner is here.
