Tokay Pinot Gris Alsace “Clos St. Urbain, Rangen de Thann” Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Gris - 1997

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Very perfumed and aromatic, sweet and raisiny nose, plenty of herbs and minerals though, and there is a depth and complexity that goes beyond the initial typical perfume and exotic fruit aromas; intense and sweet in the glass, but with restrained qualities that provide a sense of elegance and refinement; lots of minerals in this wine, and a touch of what can only be described as austerity that plays off nicely against the fruit and opulence; long finish, smooth and viscous without being cloying; nicely defined acidity at the end. (18.5/20)

Tokay Pinot Gris Alsace “Altenbourg, Le Tri” Selection des Grand Nobles, Albert Mann Pinot Gris - 1998

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Wonderful, powerful aromas of sweet tropical fruit, spices, white flowers, lemon and other citrus fruits; deep and rich in the mouth; the first flavors are of apricots and white peaches; liquid fruit compote but also with a wonderful core of citrus and spice; ripe and fleshy, almost fat, but keeps itself fully composed throughout; balanced and complex; long finish, sweet but also with dry tones and a lemon peel complement. (18/20) Another bottle later in the year from a different source; pretty consistent notes.
