  Layered, complex, mineral, sleek, amazing. Bottle seems to have hit a really good stage of drinking where the fruit personality (yellow pear, pear drop) is still the star. Aromatic- floral, honeyed, fruited, shiny, The depth of off dry flavors extends to honey botrytis, toasted walnuts, and horseradish. Wears its beefy alcohol (14.5!) so well. The texture is sleek, not the commonly found Baroque weight. This feels Grand Cru start to long mineral finish. This is what all Pinot Gris should aspire to be.

  I wanted to like this wine a lot. I'm a big fan of Alsatian Pinot Gris and I don't mind (and in fact enjoy) the hints of sweetness that typically come with that. This ended up being just fine. It's light with lots of bright honey and maybe some white flowers. What was missing for me was some balancing acidity. I did like just the touch of spice though that came towards the end.
