Sunday, September 11, 2016 - Glass: Schott Zwiesel Burgundy
Popped and poured.
Light, citrus golden color. Intense, developing, beautiful nose, easily detectable as Pinot Gris: fresh vegetal notes, pears, citrus notes, fresh butter, white pepper corn, oak.
Dry, medium acidity, full bodied, creamy texture. Pure, precise fruit, underneath fine oak, though this wine has never seen a Barrique, only large wooden casks. Long, lingering finish. This wine drinks beautiful now, but will develop for 5+ more years, so no need to hurry. One of the best German Pinot Gris I have tasted so far.
