Appearance: Bright and clear, the wine is of medium gold colour, with watery rims and legs. Nose: Clean, with pronounced intensity of floral notes of honeysuckle, citrus fruit of kumquat, green fruit of ripe pear, tropical fruit of mango, stone fruit of apricot, mineral notes of waxy, kernel notes of roasted hazelnut, maturity notes of honey. The wine is fully developed. Palate: Off-dry with medium (+) acidity, the wine has medium (+) alcohol, full body and medium (+) intensity flavours of citrus fruit of kumquat, green fruit of ripe pear, stone fruit of apricot, kernel notes of hazelnut, maturity notes of honey. The wine has a medium (+) finish. Conclusion: Very good quality Alsace Pinot Gris showing great development, with very concentrated aromas of great complexity, showing initially floral and citrus, then a wide range of fruity characters, evolving into development and hazelnut. On the palate, the wine is of slight sweetness, with good balance, very concentrated in flavours and also exhibiting good length on the finish. It is ready to drink now and can maintain for another 2-3 years.

truly splendid and on point. can't imagine there being any upside to holding this longer, but it is a hearty wine that can probably handle awhile more in a good cellar no harm done.
this really shone as it came up to room temp.

Pears on the nose. Medium weight and long finish. Excellent with sea bass.

You'll need to like mature flavours. Settled down after being open an hour. Rather food friendly but not for everyone at this point.
