Zind Humbrecht Pinot Gris Vendange Tard. Herrenweg de Turckheim (37.5cl) – 2007
CHF 30.00 CHF 19.90
“Raw mushroom, wood smoke, back tea, and lemon oil in the nose of Zind-Humbrecht’s 2007 Pinot Gris Herrenweg de Turckheim Vendange Tardive signal strong botrytis that is confirmed on a honeyed, caramelized, oily palate. Apricot and quince preserves figure prominently as well, laced with smoke and with a saline streak that – along with a remarkable element of fresh citrus – offer welcome contrast to the wine’s sheer sweetness in its impressively persistent finish. This did not represent a selection, but rather a block picking of one parcel. I expect it will age well for a dozen or more years, and perhaps to the stage where the sweetness backs off a bit, though right now its sheer richness as well as sweetness pretty much confine its use to after dinner or with select strong cheeses.” The Wine Advocate
