This is a focused effort that exhibits controlled power and a lovely sense of underlying tension

this acts like a young Barolo

Weinbach, Pinot Gris Altenbourg SGN Vintage:2007 (from 3 separate lieux-dits)(for 375 ml.; 9. 9% alcohol, 161 g l r. s. and 10 grams of acidity) Deep yellow gold. Carnal, exotic aromas of orange blossom, game, smoke and earth. Superripe, thick and powerful, but given great penetration by almost painful acidity. Wonderfully dense and concentrated wine with a tactile, salty finish that refuses to let up. Like the '07 Riesling SGN, this is just hinting at the complexity to come. Stephen Tanzer
