Aromas of white orchard fruit, white and yellow stone fruit and honey with smoke and mineral notes. Rich and full-bodied, but with good acidity to keep it quite balanced -- exactly what you expect from great Pinot Gris. Amazing what Zind Humbrecht does and how long they can age as this was still mainly primary with some secondary notes emerging. Nicely concentrated with good length.

Beautiful color in the glas. Nose of note quite ripe pear and white peaches, honey and minerals. Full bodied wine with great acidity. A hint of maturity without being anywhere near over the hill. Very good 12 year old white wine.

Smoky pear and lots of stone. Just barely off-dry and drinking quite well. Could have used an extra bit of complexity, as it came off as a bit of a one note song.

Mineral sluts need to give this a whirl. Lots of steel, chalk, pears, and a dash of peach, with lots of spice and minerals showing up on the long finish. Beautiful bottle.

Highly enjoyable. This one is in its sweet spot, as good or better than the bottle I had back in about September.
