An exceptional wine, the 2000 Gewurztraminer Hengst boasts a lavish nose of hyper-ripe peaches, apricots, lychees, and mangoes. This medium to full-bodied, powerful blockbuster slathers the palate with buttery tropical fruits, juicy peaches, potpourri, and spices all of whose flavors extend for almost 45 seconds.
