Denis Jamain (Domaine de Reuilly)
Reuilly Pinot Gris
Reuilly, Central Vineyards, Loire Valley, France
As one might expect, your last bottle generally equals best bottle. Every bottle of this 2016 P-G rosé we opened had been just mediocre. For some mystical reason, this is a horse of a different color... Similar to my notes of two months ago, but more distinctly the sweet red & green table grapes are prominent on the palate. Even my wife, whom I believe despised each bottle opened, did a second take today.
Prior notes mostly apply...

Nose has washed cherries, sliced Thompson grapes and dry sandstone.
Palate has mashed green/red table grapes, (light) citrus zest and green banana peel. Medium-short finish.
I'm still not seeing much improvement in this particular bottle of rosé, decent but not exciting.

Crisp minerality with a hint of lychee. Interesting color: peach, not pink. Very tasty.

Soft and supple, pillowy light red fruits. Juicy.

Dry and not too light. A little savoriness to it 👌
