1989 Hugel et Fils Tokay Pinot Gris Vendange Tardive - France, Alsace, Alsace AOC (10/30/2009)
Bought this bottle at a small wine shop in Ballard. Had forgotten about it in the cellar and found it recently. Had Kalbi tonight so assumed it to be a reasonable match. Much to my surprise the cork came out of the bottle clean and in 1 piece. Color was golden-straw like. Initially the wine was somewhat closed but within an hour revealed lychee, lemon and on the finish some grapefruit. Great acidity inspite of the high sugar level (295 gms/at harvest-68 gms/ltr as bottled). Got to love these 20 year old whites! (95 pts.)
