2005 vintage. Selection de Grains Nobles Pinot Gris. At Harry's Bar for Jay's birthday. Deep amber hue. Exceptional nose - apricot, peach, pinapple, butterscotch, honey and honey suckle, some botanical notes. On the palate, full bodied, treacle texture, oily, huge acidity creates a cutting edge through the honeyed notes. This is superb despite its tender age. Full concentration. Very long. Caramelised pineapple on the finish. Delicious. Love it.

Nov 1st, 20152005 Selection de Grains Nobles from Zind-Humbrecht from the famed Rotenberg Grand Cru. Medium Amber. Marmalade, peach syrup and apricot jam. Nutmeg and caramelised oranges. On the palate, super ripe and lusciously sweet syrup with great acidity and full bodied. Great mid palate allows the acidity to calm the syrup notes. Long long finish. Huge concentration. Apricot dominant. Caramel and hot cream. Carnation milk. Viscous. Wow. Something special. NB: surprised this isn't labelled Quintessence de Grains Nobles given the luscious nature of this wine.
