Appearance: Golden honey color Nose: Oak, cedar, sultana raisins, vanilla, honey, baked apples, toasted almonds. Taste: full bodied with generous fruit for the age of the bottle, low/moderate acidity, residual sugar throughout.
Beautiful, complex, interesting pino gris!

Clear light amber. Slightly oxidised in a good way, dried apricot, white flowers and some sweet ripe tropical fruit. Off dry apricot, peach and Christmas cake flavours and a very nice long rich but dry finish.

A cornucopia of aromas waft from the glass, a brilliant Pinot Gris that offers something truly unique and true to its terroir. Loads of life ahead but already mature its drinking beautifully. My only gripe is the 15 percent alcohol which makes drinking more than a glass hard going.

Wonderful wine, still young: brimming with energy and lots of interest lurking behind the surface. Lovely fruit (apricot, ripe citrus, red apple) together with spicy, nutty and floral notes, honeysuckle on the long finish. Paired wonderfully with a dish of duck leg and apple.

Delicious - massive nose, huge amounts of sweetness. Drunk with BBQ'd prawns and sea bass but somewhat tricky to pair with food. 15% Alcohol a surprise

Cheesy and biscuity initially opening up revealing a great array of aromas, apricots, smoke and nuts. Massive on palate with few res sugars well balanced by zesty acidity. Very long and concentrated with 15% abv this is a wine destined to age and improve further.

Nutty nose (as in walnuts, not crazy nutty...) - notes of soy sauce too. Sweet and sour palate, hoisin sauce. Delicious wine, would go really well with duck or pork belly.

Distinctly sweet, say Spatlese level, supposedly 8-10 g/l I think I recall reading. Luxurious, lots of glycerine, mouth feel like whole milk. Hard to pin down the flavor behind the sweetness and minerals. Excellent wine, but difficult to match with food other than something spicy and/or Asian.

Tremendous concentration but a very subdued nose. You can certainly tell it is a pinot gris with a lot going on and great minerality but there is a certain savory / saline component and the subdued aspect of the nose that make we wonder if it's still knocked down from bottling / sulfur. We will see what tomorrow yields...

Drago Centro: One of the greats. Lovely flinty nose, touch austere honey/botrytis and floral; rich, beaut. mouth, but tons of acidity!!! What structure and elegance, and complexity. Beautiful wine and grt w/fois gras and berries.

Rich, nutty, quite sweet, showing a little age, great with spicy asian food I think. Blind tasting my place

Rich, sweet, notes of citrus, orange confit, minerals here, good balance and plenty of freshness. Drinking a point, I think.

Still young and crisp; smooth honey, pears, minerals, smokiness, citrus, a stringent acidity, impeccable balance - bravo, Feller!

Fabulous tension of sweetness and acid - rich and hugely long. Very fine drinking.

Savoury aromas of toasted nuts, honey, stone fruits; lovely off-dry palate. Great texture, voluptuous and seductive. Nicely balanced.

Very full on. Deep gold colour. Rich nose. Huge buttery palate. 15% alcohol and you could feel it! A bit super-charged for me, but Mrs H loved it!
