It may not be a Selection des Grains Nobles, but this still has the intoxicating orange zest and honey aromas. Similiar notes echo on the palate; will need many years to develop.——R.V.(4/1/2005)—— 90

(Not yet released)Produced from Humbrecht's oldest parcel of vines in the Rotenberg vineyard, the 1998 Pinot Gris Rotenberg Vendange Tardive reveals deep, smoky apricot aromas. Harvested at a penurious 10 hectoliters per hectare, this medium-to-full-bodied wine is round, ample, with remarkable opulence. Jammy apricots and red cherries are found in its supple, sexy character. Drink it over the next 12 years. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 524-1524.
