88/100 45

Intensely-flavoured wine with pear, stone fruit, mineral and quince flavours together with a suggestion of spice. It has good weight and richness - rather in the style of an Alsace Pinot Gris with a suggestion of tannins providing structure and a pleasantly dry finish without introducing coarsemess common in NZ Pinot Gris.
