Pinot Gris Rotenberg, Vendange Tardive--Vintage 1996
Alsace, Zind-Humbrecht
In original carton
"The only Vendange Tardive Tokay-Pinot Gris I tasted was the 1995 Rotenberg, a wine with 9.5 total acidity, and 14.5 alcohol. It is nearly too intense, yet who could not admire its amazing display of powerful, highly-extracted, buttery, slightly botrytised flavors, remarkably high acidity for such intensity, and marvelous purity of flavor and length. The wine coats the palate with viscous fruit, yet the acidity gives it vibrancy and freshness. It possesses a remarkable sweet/sour flavor combination. The wine should drink well for 20+ years." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #111 (Jun 1997)
