Drink 0-0, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Nov 2008
(15.5% alcohol, 11 r.s.) Dark orange-gold color suggests a dessert wine, as in past years like 1998 and 1993. Exotic, nobly rotten aromas of apricot, beeswax, shoe polish, fig and dried fruits. Then almost shockingly dry and penetrating in the mouth, with powerful acidity (around 8.5 grams) leading Olivier to give this an indice of "1". Finishes a bit tart, with a note of citronella. A love-it-or-hate-it style of pinot gris, and it's not for me.
