2022 Tim Adams Pinot Gris

The 2022 vintage witnessed one of the most steady and even ripening periods that Tim Adams had experienced delivering intensely flavoured fruit with the mild summer retaining good natural acidity in the wines.
Brilliant apricot tinged colour with a watery hue. Fragrant pear and red apple skin aromas blend in with hints of musk, light quince and spice. Fleshy pear and red apple flavours are delivered with superb intensity and possess a slippery textural feel. Quince and subtle spicy musk elements lie underneath. Finishes dry with brisk acidity and a long beautifully rounded aftertaste.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
Alc. 12.5%

Other Reviews....
I seem to recall that Tim Adams was an early adopter of pinot gris and something of a champion of the variety. Always good news. The wine hits the glass with a gentle pinky-orange hue, suggesting some skin contact in winemaking, and certainly the more opulent, fleshy texture backs that up. It's a very good expression, with lots of ripe pear perfume, quince, ginger and brioche. The palate similarly layered with pear, quince, ginger and yeasty savouriness, and while rich, finds a nice grip and pucker in the cool finish. Spot on. Drink by 2024.
