PINOT GRIS 2016 Marlborough, South Island |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
INVIVO |
Bright medium straw colour. Very leesy, honeyed, spicy, floral, yellow plum, grapefruit-tinged nose. Fairly dry, medium to medium-light bodied, harmonious, spicy, honeyed, apple-yellow plum flavours with a crisp, unoaked finish. Has 13.5% alcohol and 6 g/L residual sugar with a screwcap closure. Unfortunately, not at all up to the remarkable recommended 2012 (***) with 92-points that was released on March 29, 2014 at $18.95. TONY ASPLER / 83-points - Off screwcap bottle? Couldn’t get past the bound-in sulphur or the volatile acidity. |

TASTING NOTE: It is beautifully fruited and lifted on the nose displaying nectarine, poached pear and mandarin characters. The palate is succulent and rounded with a hint of sweetness, perfectly balanced by juicy acidity, finishing long and tasty. Wonderfully expressive and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2019.
