June 20, 2016 - Leo's Blind Tasting Group - June '16 edition (Back Forty West, NYC): Really liked this - packed with ripe apricot, quince, orange marmalade, and intense honey and other botrytis notes on a medium weight frame that never comes across heavy or cloying, despite the intense sweetness here. There's a lovely polished, almost glossy aspect to the texture, though it finishes just a touch short compared to the Rangen.

March 15, 2014 - Rednecks & Rhones at Steve & Barb's house. Amber in color. A very nice balance that continues through to a long finish. Nicely sweet but the sweetness quickly fades into the balance of the whole. Apricots & clear, clean botrytis. It's downfall- it's not as good as the other 3 '91 Pinot Gris SGNs made by ZH! 50+13+13+9+9=94

May 27, 2005 - Medium gold in color, this nicely concentrated wine was full of aromas and flavors of honeysuckle, quince, raisins and roasted fruit. Medium bodied on the palate with a long finish. Seems ready to go and not one to age as long as the '91 Jebsal and Rangen SGNs. Very enjoyable. 50+13+13+8.5+8 = 92.5
