Maturing nicely. The nose is a honey bomb with layers of orange marmalade and wet stone. The palate is pleasing, and light bodied. Perhaps a touch cloying and viscous/chewy but the hint of lingering acidity brings it back in line. Very long finish. Aged Pinot Gris is new to me but this should have a full and long life ahead.
