1997 Pfaffenheim Tokay Pinot Gris

An exotic mouthfilling example of the style. Deep straw colour, verging on brassy gold with a slight spritzig evident. The nose is slightly broad with delicate aromas of honeysuckle, followed by some floral and loquat notes. The palate texture is almost oily with a degree of viscosity not expected and suggesting some extended skin contact. The palate flavours display the same exotic characteristics as experienced on the nose - honeysuckle and loquat are dominant, followed by some dried apricot and just a hint of compote. The acid levels are holding up for the medium term. Cellar 2-3 years.
