Paul Ginglinger, Tokay Pinot Gris Eichberg Alsace Grand Cru, 1995
White
750ml
Label : Good Label
Level : Neck Level
Capsule : Good Capsule
🏰 The 1995 vintage in Alsace for Pinot Gris Grand Cru would likely have produced wines with good structure and aging potential, typical of a region known for its aromatic whites. Paul Ginglinger's Tokay Pinot Gris Eichberg Alsace Grand Cru from 1995, at nearly three decades old, would have evolved significantly, showcasing the complexity that aged Alsace Pinot Gris can achieve. Expect a wine that has moved beyond its primary fruit notes to reveal more tertiary aromas like dried apricot, honey, beeswax, and subtle spice. The Eichberg Grand Cru terroir is known for producing rich, full-bodied wines with a distinctive minerality. 【Aged Alsace Pinot Gris showcasing complex tertiary aromas】
Given its age, this wine should be handled with care. The cork may be fragile, so an Ah-So or Durand opener is recommended. Decanting is generally not necessary for aged white wines unless there's significant sediment, but a gentle pour into a carafe can help it open up. Serve slightly chilled, around 10-12°C (50-54°F), to allow its complex aromatics to shine without being dulled by excessive cold.
🍴 This mature Alsace Grand Cru Pinot Gris would be an exquisite pairing for rich, flavorful dishes. Think roasted poultry like duck or goose, foie gras, creamy mushroom dishes, or even subtly spiced Asian cuisine. Its evolved character would also complement aged Comté or other firm, nutty cheeses.
🥂 An exceptional choice for a milestone anniversary, a sophisticated tasting event focused on aged white wines, or a celebratory dinner where a unique and complex wine is desired to impress discerning palates.
