Pinot Gris, Hengst, 2011, Alsace, France

Ooohhh was the general comment when this was brought out to drink followed shortly afterwards by aaahhh. A Grand Cru is not to be rushed and one by Albert Mann should have extra care. Aromas and flavours of ripe citrus, pineapple, a solid body and a creamy undernote makes this a wine to sip and take pleasure in.  Prices for earlier vintages start at £35 and are recommended,  getting 2011 vintage is harder, buy later ones and age yourself is my recommendation.
