The wine is Gewurztraminer Vendange Tardive Selection de Grains Nobles
Fut 67, 1976, Hugel. The wine has been properly stored since shortly
after release. There were different releases with different Fut
numbers. Broadbent claims that Fut 20 was the greatest cask, and it was
135 degrees Oechsle, 13.7% alcohol, 53 g/L residual sugar, and made
from 100% botrytis-affected grapes. I have not found any details for
Fut 67 that I had, but it could not be far behind on comparison of my
notes with those of Broadbent.

The wine still is very fresh, and one might guess it to be 20 years
younger in a blind tasting. The color is very bright lemon with no
trace of orange or brown. It has extreme richness with pinealple, figs,
and mixed floral notes. There is enough acid to balance the great
honey-like sweetness. It is creamy and coats the mouth. It is about of
German BA level in taste, but has higher alcohol more like in a
Sauternes. However the great richness hides the alcohol so well that
you hardly notice it. Fortunately I have a few more bottles, and they
could well outlast me.
