2005 Sonnenglanz Pinot Gris Selection de Grains Nobles, Domaine Bott-Geyl (50cl)
"Deep orange-gold. Musky, slightly high-toned aromas of apricot, yellow plum and honey, complicated by almost Tokaji-like notes of truffle, smoke and earth. Then concentrated and saline, with a level of acidity that almost comes as a shock. Dense but lively SGN with a very long, tactile, almost tannic aftertaste that coats the palate with spices. These grapes were harvested before the fruit used for the VT, and the higher acidity here makes the wine taste less sweet despite its 200 g/l r.s." Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, July 2007
