Albert Boxler Pinot Gris Grand Cru Sommerberg

The 2015 Pinot Gris Grand Cru Sommerberg Wibtal opens with a super-ripe but fine, precise and fresh nose with a touch of noblesse and bacon due to the newer 1600-liter oak foudre where it was fermented. Rich, intense and juicy, this is a round, full-bodied, finely structured and elegant Pinot with a long and stimulatingly salty finish. Quite powerful on the mid-palate, but the finish is finessed, vital and salty, full of potential.

This is a really focused, reductive and intense wine. A pure impression of pinot gris. Very spicy and flavorful. Full body, very fruity and fresh. Dry at the end. Cloudy but that's the profile. Enjoy it. Drink now.
