there is not just a notion of ripeness but almost of overripeness of pear fruit on the nose, accompanied by hints of honeysuckle. there also are hints of sandalwood and gentle vanilla. the palate is cushioned with mellow residual sweetness, making the rich flavors even more rich and generous. a vein of citrus freshness counters this, but this is in the generous, medium-sweet spectrum, oozing fruit and generosity. the finish, nonetheless, is precise and fresh. a great example of mature pinot gris.
