Similar notes to 7 months ago in September 2021. Comparing with the Pinot Gris from Dry River in Martinborough NZ. I found this to be musky with intense pear and apricot notes. Both were luscious with low acid and both finished dry. Not much in it but I gave the decision narrowly to the Dry River because of it’s brighter new world fruit.

Mid yellow in colour. Aromas of yellow flowers and honey. The palate is luscious with pear and ripe apple - good concentration with medium plus intensity and low acid. Finishes dry. First of 6 recently bought. Also excellent value/QPR.

What a great surprise. 9 years in, this is such a killer! Exceeded expectations.

Yesterday’s CMS Certified exam blind tasting lineup. Have a lot to learn and practice! Btw this Zind Humbrecht Pinot Gris was outstanding with its price point (19.99). Impressive performance.

Ripe stone fruits, honey. Excellent acidity. This is a well-balanced, lovely wine.

Good but a bit fatter than I expected from Zind-H. Slightly warm at the end.
