Zind-Humbrecht is one of Alsace's leading names, and this softly spicy number provides a great introduction to Alsatian Gewurztraminer, with all the apricot, lychee and ginger spice that you'd expect but expressed with restraint and elegance. At the dry end of the Gewurz spectrum, it's complex and precise. You could lay down for another few years too, though it's already drinking beautifully now.
