Pinot Gris Clos St Urbain Rangen--Vintage 1992
Alsace. Domaine-bottled: Zind-Humbrecht
Tasting note: The reticent bouquet of the Tokay-Pinot Gris Rangen Clos Saint-Urbain offers huge, honeyed, cherry, smoky, nutty, buttery aromas that are just beginning to blossom. Superbly rich, with a chewy, full-bodied texture, this nearly viscous, super-concentrated wine should drink well for 10-15 years. In the hands of the top Alsatian producers, Tokay-Pinot Gris is a dry, full-bodied wine offering a huge perfume of buttery, creamy, smoky fruit, unctuous, intense flavors, and awesome power and palate presence. It is generally a richer, fuller wine than even the largest-scaled grand cru white burgundies. It gets my nod as the Montrachet of Alsace. When made by a producer who emphasizes unmanipulative winemaking and extremely low yields, Tokay-Pinot Gris can reach unprecedented heights of richness and complexity.
