Domaine Zind-Humbrecht 2009 Calcaire Pinot Gris (Alsace)

Country: France / Alsace
Variety: Pinot Gris
Winery: Domaine Zind-Humbrecht / Calcaire

An intensely rich wine from vines planted on chalk soil. There is a spicy, smooth texture, with a bitter almond and cinnamon edge. The alcohol does leave a burning sensation, which detracts from the overall feel.
