Robert Parker (94)

With the Humbrechts’ 2007 Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal Vendange Tardive we enter the realm of decidedly lower alcohol (around 11%) and higher sugar (around 100 grams). Mandarins, banana, pineapple, mint, sage flower, gardenia, and heliotrope soar from the glass, then converge on a creamy, practically weightless palate, with caramelized mirabelle, grapefruit, and peach preserves adding to the litany. Thanks to a lively sense of citrus juiciness throughout – and no doubt also to high extract – the glorious finish of this buoyant elixir is not in the least cloying. No doubt it could be happily revisited over the next 30 years.

Lively yet elegant, bursting with ripe red grapefruit, pineapple, blood orange and mango fruit flavors that mix with layers of smoke, mushroom, honey and toffee. The ripe, honeyed flavors are precisely balanced by the vivacious acidity, with a long, spice-tinged finish.
