Liquid Gold!!!! A Pinot Gris that has gone through Noble rot. Gold with an Amber tint. Aromas of peach, apricot, and honey. Very tasty with a great sweet note. Great with our Charcuterie board!!! — 3 years ago
Strong petrol and steel and heady floral aromas backed by lime spritz, minerals, apricots, and white peaches. Nice acidity. Weighty. Delightful. Much preferred over the Block 1961.
Would compare well with a Trimbach Cuvee Frederic Emile, though with that signature Australian lime and punch. — 4 years ago
v17. Very good. Dusty, crushed black cherry nose. Luscious, rich, black cherry fruit. Clean, medium, earthy finish. Enjoyable. — 8 months ago
The nose gives you honeysuckle, pear juice, dried apricot, ripe peach, and a hint of petrol. The palate is white peach, ripe apricot, honey, ripe pear, with hints of honey and white pepper. The after nose adds gunpowder. A luscious, full bodied white with medium plus alcohol and high acid. — 5 years ago
Tawny with reddish amber rims. Dark yet translucent. Great old Chave nose. Black cherry, wet forest floor, smoked meats, menthol, slate stone and rhubarb notes. Vibrant in the mouth right out of the gate. Lots of structure and pucker. Fruit present but starting to fade. This was at peak first two hours and then started slowing down, opposite of the Trimbach CSH next to it. Still this was really good ~37 yr old grape juice. — 5 years ago

The body is rich, thick, waxy and lush. full honey notes, macerated yellow peach, apricots, overripe pineapple, lychees, marmalade jam, lime & lemon pulp, pink grapefruit, some blood orange, overripe melons, dry, sandy soils, chalk powder, sun tea, some very, delicate, white spice, slivered almonds w/ skin, limestone powder, hint of mint, saline hue, dry twig, understated mix of dry & fresh herbs & withering; yellow & white lilies & spring flowers.

Her age & beauty are on full display. Nothing tired about this 96. — 4 years ago

This still shows great acidity and lovely mature aromas and flavors, even at 10 years old I’d guess this will continue to hold at this plateau, very fine Alsatian Pinot Gris!! — 7 months ago
