Oops - the Guiraud was a 1989 and I missed this course:
Next up was a simple dish of very good foie gras on small bruschetta
accompanied by a couple of Alsatian wines (I am not fond of too sweet
a wine with foie gras).
2000 Albert Mann Pinot Gris Grand Cru Furstentum – I’d chosen this as
it is a bit off dry and would better match the food. Reasonable amount
of RS, good nose and long finish, but eclipsed by the next wine.
2002 Zind Humbrecht Clos Windsbuhl Gewurztraminer – killer spicy
gewurz nose, sweeter finish than the PG, and notably richer with
excellent balance and a lemon curd impression in midpalate. Excellent!
Sounds wonderful. *How was the 2002 ZH aging.? *I have a few bottles
in my cellar and not sure how long they have.
Mine is aging wonderfully though I only have one bottle left out of 4.
Opened the 3rd one with smoked trout 2 weeks ago.
