@Delectable Wine : This is not a Tokay Pinot Gris. This is the Grand Cru Kanzlerberg Pinot Gris.

Opened for a quarterly BNO (theme was Cali cabs pre-2016 and Alsatian whites) alongside a 2005 Chateau Montelena Estate Cabernet.

Brought back from my first Alsace trip back in ‘23. In my opinion, when it comes to Grand Cru Pinot Gris, the clear top belongs to Gustave Lorentz, Paul Blanck and Zind-Humbrecht.

When I bought this at the winery in ‘23, it was a current release (I believe they may now be on 2015/2016). When pinot Gris is intentional, the power (and most importantly) texture becomes a true highlight. Golden in the glass with aromatics of honeyed dragon fruit, spiced pear, citrus and a sweet marzipan note. Texturally such a joy with a nearly oily viscosity that has just enough acidity to keep it lively. More honeyed yellow fruits on the palate, pineapple (but not overly sweet) and apricot. Killer companion with foie gras and also mushrooms (which we had with our dinner).

I believe Alsatian Grand Cru Pinot Gris is best at a drinking window of 10-15yrs, and this bottle is squarely in the pocket. — 10 days ago

NV. Brown sugar, toasted pecans, maple, poached pear, quince paste, the green notes of over-steeped green tea and honeydew that I typically associate with Australian Tokay, raisins, decayed white flowers, overripe fruit. The acid and the green notes save this wine from being overly tooth-aching. Awesome match for pecan pie or crème brûlée. — 10 years ago

Deep amber color with strong notes of stone fruit and honey to the nose and palate. Silky and rich on the way down with a long finish. This was a fabulous wine — 5 years ago

Mature, complex, almost a bit fact but with plenty of balancing acidity and excellent length, might have been better 5-10 years ago, but still quite fine!! — 8 years ago

Another winner from Slavček. The Tokaj is really pure with a real skin of the grape leatheriness; the Chardonnay lends it a prettiness and floral aspect. — 9 years ago
