2005 Albert Mann Pinot Gris Hengst - France, Alsace, Wintzenheim, Alsace Grand Cru AOC (3/6/2012)
Smoky apple and pear, with a touch of orange rind in the background. Viscous and dense, but with enough acidity to keep it from being clumsy. Pear compote and more smoke on the round palate, with a hint of honey on the back end. There is a sense of stoniness, but it it lost a bit in the roundness of the wine. Quite long and brooding, and relatively layered and complicated. A great wine to have a glass or two, but maybe not a bottle. Outstanding, but a little goes a long way. 90 pts (90 pts.)
