The score for 1989 Hugel Fils Tokay Pinot Gris Hugel Alsace Selection de Grains Nobles is 97 from Wine Spectator and the tasting note - Still very young and fresh, with great concentration and balance. Opens with discreet but rich aromas of crème brûlée and coffee, then moves to sweet honey and spice flavors backed by firm acidity. Finishes long and with a teasing bitterness that draws you back for more. Irresistible now, but should only improve with time in the bottle. 30 cases made.
