Pinot Gris, Clos St Urbain--Vintage 1996
Alsace, Zind-Humbrecht
"The deep gold-colored 1996 Tokay-Pinot Gris Rangen Clos St. Urbain brought back memories of my childhood, when my mother would bake mincemeat pies. The wine's bouquet, an exotic concoction of spices, pie dough, jus de viande, and honey, soared from the glass of this awesomely-endowed Pinot Gris. In the mouth, it tasted of white truffle oil, something I have only rarely experienced (on occasion, I have had white Hermitage as well as Hermitage Vin de Paille exhibit similar characteristics). Extremely full-bodied and thick, moderately sweet, and mammothly-endowed, this is a winemaking monument." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #119 (Oct. 1998)
