Albert Mann Tokay Pinot Gris Vieilles Vignes 1999

Albert Mann Tokay Pinot Gris Vieilles Vignes 1999: A clear, pale golden colour. Fresh and laden with fruit on the nose, with slightly honeyed, tropical fruits. A hint of banana and smoke, but no spice. The palate is equally fresh, with a mouthful of fruit cut through with delightfully crisp, sharp and tingling acidity, providing a wonderful sense of balance. There is a striking depth of flavour, and quite some weight develops towards the endpalate. Short finish, but immensely enjoyable. 16.5/20 (1/10/01)
