Marc Kreydenweiss Kritt Pinot Blanc 1999

Marc Kreydenweiss Kritt Pinot Blanc 1999: A moderately rich gold colour. Lots of fruit on the nose, although the fruit profile itself is quite hard to tie down. There are hints of tropical melon and pineapple, but also oil of oranges, and there is a mealy edge, which is reflected on the midpalate. It is quite a dry wine, although with lots of fruit on the palate, and a rich and weighty texture (for Pinot Blanc). It is all balanced out by good acidity which has just the faintest zing to it. Being critical, the alcohol seems just a little prominent, showing on the nose and endpalate. Nevertheless, this is an eminently quaffable wine. 15.5/20 (3/9/01)
