October 14, 2022 - Oh wow, this is good. This 21 year old Pinot Gris is in a wonderful spot. Cork was about 3/4 soaked through and broke in half as I pulled it out. Medium gold in the glass. The nose has no bottle funk whatsoever- it smells like white flowers, preserved lemons, yellow apples, a bit of honey, very pleasant.
In the mouth, the acidity is medium with a lovely medium to full body. A bit of viscosity actually that surprised me. The wine has a lovely texture as a rolls around the palate- it feels a little creamy. The flavors are of preserved and candied lemon, golden delicious apple, and a little bit of something more exotic (jackfruit? persimmon?, idk...something like that). The finish is nice a long, emphasizes yellow fruit flavors. What an amazing bottle.
It's now official, Pinot Gris is the most under-appreciated grape.1 person found this helpful Comment
