The score for 1989 Hugel Tokay Pinot Gris Vendanges Tardives is 92 from Wine Spectator and the tasting note - Opulent yet balanced, and benefiting from bottle age, this marries butter, pastry dough and honey flavors with a clean, underlying acidity. Hints of walnuts and white truffles add interest. Understated yet seductive, it's delicious now but has a long future ahead. Much better than previously reviewed.
