ZIND-HUMBRECHT - Pinot Gris Grand Cru Rangen de Thann Clos-Saint-Urbain - 2015

ZIND-HUMBRECHT

Pinot Gris Grand Cru Rangen de Thann Clos-Saint-Urbain 2015

Luminous golden-yellow. Complex aromas of lemon verbena, crystallized apricot, mirabelle and minerals on the captivating nose. Rich and ripe, displaying a spicy touch to the orange marmalade and mineral flavors, lifted by vibrant acidity and floral nuances on the long, savory finish. For many experts (and I am among them), this is the greatest dry Pinot Gris wine in the world; the 2016 is its usual “monster of complexity” self, but readers should note that this tastes off-dry rather than classically dry.
