2006 Hugel Gewurztraminer Tradition "Hugel" - initially not cold enough, so the palate was a little flat. Nose was very ripe, with marmalade, floral and a little lychee. After chilling for a while the palate was more lively. Nose gained mineral notes with a little bit of toasty oak at the end. Finish was slightly bitter, both from being over-ripe and from poor storage. Color was a little darker than expected - a clear sign of oxidation. Still very enjoyable.
