Pinot Gris Rotenberg Selection de Grains Nobles 2008 Zind Humbrecht

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (96)

Orange liqueur, vanilla, nutmeg, white raisin, musk, and smoky black tea on the nose of Zind-Humbrecht’s 2008 Pinot Gris Rotenberg Selection de Grains Nobles reprise multifacetedly on a palate that exhibits an uncanny alliance of creaminess with riveting refreshment, and on which nearly 200 grams of residual sugar comes off as in no way overly sweet. This blazes a quickening path across the palate whose tracks are well-nigh indelible. I envision at least 30 years of excitement in store for those who have the requisite time at their disposal.

A rich truffle note pulls you into the glass and subtly weaves through the peach pie, candied pineapple, peaty smoke and sea salt notes. There's firm, juicy acidity, but also an enjoyable melt-in-your-mouth quality to the wine's texture, with a long, hard candy-infused finish.
