Note di degustazione
The 1998 Tokay-Pinot Gris Rangen de Thann Clos St.-Urbain Selection de Grains Nobles has 13.5% alcohol and 160 grams of residual sugar. Even though no new oak was employed, its aromatics reveal vanilla, powerful smoke, and spice scents. This is a raspberry, apricot, peach, spice, and toast-flavored wine with magnificent breadth and an unbelievably long finish. Even though its flavor profile is unctuous, almost jellied in character, it possesses brilliant focus. This is an extraordinary wine with an enormous upside. Drink it over the course of the next 25-30+ Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524

Deeper orange color. Pure botrytis aromas of apricot, orange marmalade, quince jam, honey and licorice. Moderately viscous, but brilliantly delineated. Near-solid texture and perfect balance. Features an extraordinary high-wire act of 160 g/l residual sweetness and 11.5 g/l acidity, but here the alcohol is a more substantial 14.6%. This may well develop in bottle for 50 years.
