Domaine Paul Blanck Pinot Gris Altenbourg Vendanges Tardives 2008Pale yellow. Extremely reticent nose hints at citrus fruit and mint with
aeration. Impressively concentrated and intense but not yet complex;
quite sappy but still tastes even sweeter than its 50 grams per liter of
residual sugar. The wine's moderately glyceral texture is nicely
enlivened by ripe acidity and a deep spiciness. This should repay aging.
About 30% botrytized fruit here, but not from a special selection,
notes Blanck.
