Cave de Beblenheim Pinot Gris 2007

Variety: 100% Pinot Gris
Country of origin: France
Wine appellation: Alsace
Vintage: 2007
Alcohol content: 12.5%
Color: medium yellow
Bouquet: tones of orange marmelade, good bottle aging, dry orange peel  
Taste: medium body, good balance of acidity and fruit, similar to nose adominant fruit in the taste is orange with good structure and hint of bready tones, at the end grapefruit and very light residual sugar, medium finish
Recommended food pairing: Asian cousine
Overall score: 84
Price: CZK 139

It is interesting if you compare the notes with the ones from December 2009, where you can find the botlle and labels. The wine developed significantly and went from teenage shape to more mature adult expression. I like it more as it has more structured body and less pure fruit as it had 2 years ago.
