Hugel Jubilee Tokay Pinot Gris 1995

Hugel Jubilee Tokay Pinot Gris 1995: The pale yellow colour of this wine gives no clue to the richness that is to follow. There are fairly intense aromas of soft tropical and stone fruit on the nose, with a honeyed edge. The palate likewise is soft and rounded, with a generous layer of canned pineapple, pear and other, more tropical, fruits. Quite a mouthfilling richness with a luscious texture developing through the midpalate as the wine warms, all provided by a good level of residual sugar which doesn't dominate the overall feel of the wine. There is underlying soft acidity providing the necessary structure. 17/20 (15/10/01)
