Very correct for the style with nice dryness. Not much else to add to my previous note other than good qpr, even in a half bottle. Killer with a pork chop in a white wine shallot sauce, flambeed with ginger brandy.

Not as nice as the riesling of same year, but a perfectly decent example of basic Alsatian pinot gris. Smoky nose with a hint of cheese (?). Oily, rich, slightly overripe honeydew and pear taste (which I like). Finish has a touch of that petrol quality so pronounced in rieslings. Not a very complex wine, BUT will taste again.

Some tropical notes open into dirt and a 'wet leaves' type of note on top of considerable minerality in this very dry wine. Very nice but not exceptional. Shows much better with food (had with grilled pork shops and a wine reduction).

Very pleasant, but simple and one dimensional. Some melon and a hint of minerality.
