  APPEARANCE: A light to medium pale yellow hue
  AROMA: Kerosene and honeysuckle on the nose
  TASTE: A heavy wine that really coats the palate. Would prefer a little more acid. Mouthfeel almost resembles a dessert wine

  Pas beaucoup aimé malheureusement. Chêne un peu trop présent. Aromatique étrange sans que je puisse préciser de quoi il s'agit. Une personne à table s'essaie avec les pommes?!
  Un vin étrange. Pas super.

  @trestle w/ LA and Sabine
  Medium yellow with some gold.
  Medium intensity aromas of peach, light oxidation, possible lees, faint honey (botrytis).
  Nearly dry - maybe 3-4g RS. Medium alcohol. Medium acid. Medium minus bitterness that blends with a really strong mineral aspect- almost bitter, like flat Pellegrino.
  
  The youth of this (primary Terpenic fruit and freshness) seems to have faded, and while there is some oxidation, it hasn't acquired the savory tertiary complexities of age. Also the acid is pretty low, even for Pinot Gris, and the minerality (while important) sticks out like a sore thumb. Not the most integrated Pinot Gris.

  Un pinot gris avec énormément de puissance et de complexité. Va probablement continuer à évoluer de façon intéressante mais très bon à boire maintenant. Belles saveurs de fruits blancs. Le nez est aussi très charmeur. Le taux d'alcool est élevé mais la balance dans le vin nous le fait oublier.
