2005 | Zind Humbrecht | HeimbourgTurckheim Pinot Gris Selection de Grains Nobles (Half Bottle)
Description:
A honeyed style, this is very concentrated and lush, with apricot, clover honey, passion fruit and grapefruit flavors as it unfolds across the palate. Racy, finishing clean as a whistle despite its obvious sweetness. Order from the Largest & Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! Featured in ROLLING STONE, MEN'S JOURNAL, US WEEKLY, Wine Advocate: When botrytis rapidly overtakes the grapes, says Humbrecht, as it did those of the 2005 Pinot Gris Heimbourg Selection de Grains Nobles, the ennobling effect is all the more concentrated and dramatic. And when high acidity is added to the effect of botrytis � as is also the case here � the yeasts seldom stand a chance of getting very far along in fermentation (in this instance 10% alcohol) and even an enormous amount of residual sugar (here 219 grams) does not come off as cloying. An absolutely ethereal concentration of pure botrytisin, honey, apricot nectar, litchi, white raisin, and cinnamon spice on the nose set the tone for this amazingly rich, buttery-textured, yet buoyant and positively invigorating wine. Licorice, vanilla, and saline, chalky mineral threads weave their way into the already intricate and plush carpet of flavors in a finish of astonishing lift and refinement. This extraordinary wine will reward at least three decades in the cellar.
