Strahlendes Goldgelb im Glas. In der Nase eine Explosion von Karamell-, Honig- und Nussnoten. Und noch immer ein klein wenig Zitrusfrüchte. Betörend die Würze. Am Gaumen setzt sich die Vielschichtigkeit fort. Zusätzlich noch tolle Mineralik und Säure.

Drinking very well still, so surprised by the drinking window provided in CT. Kris’s, clean, bright, and with substantial body. Pineapple, hints of citrus and bitter orange. I would love to have more.

Dinner for Rebecca and Malcolm (Ponsonby, Auckland, New Zealand): Superb aged Pinot Blanc of great character. Slightly off-dry with an oily texture. This wine is reminiscent of an Alsatian wine. The bottle age added wonderful nuance and the aromatic complexity was an excellent match to a crayfish nage with vanilla, cardamom and star anise.

Drunk with a couple of Jean-Georges recipes - Fennel and Apple salad with Juniper and Salmon with Cardamon broth. The wine was not a perfect match for either - due to its lusciousness and aged character. No worries - this is an outstanding Pinot Gris which is aging perfectly and has time on its side. Apple, caramel and fennel aromas - in the mouth very luscious and clear residual sugar. The balance is great - no holes and the finish is long. Guava, fennel, caramel and bottle age flavours. Alsatian in style - not at all cloying. Excellent wine. Drink next in 2012.
