WA 95 (3/2023): The 2002 Pinot Gris Vendange Tardive Heimbourg displays a radiant golden-orange color and a beautifully clear, precise and fresh but concentrated stone fruit aroma that indicates great concentration and healthy ripeness. The wine is dense and viscous on the palate, very elegant, intense and complex, even playful and enormously long on the balanced and aromatic as well as saline and grippy-mineral, highly stimulating finish. The sweetness is uplifted here by structural elements so that richness is really stimulating here. This is a VT on a very high level given the rather unspectacular, west-facing Turckheim terroir with calcareous marls and the average age of the vines of 17 years. Olivier couldn't have made it any better, I'd say. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in January 2023.
VM 93 (11/2003): Sauternes-like aromas of apricot, orange marmalade, honey, toffee, caramel and vanilla. Candied fruits offer an exhilarating sweetness. Almost SGN-like in the way the wine's viscosity is cut by racy acidity. Very thick and very long on the aftertaste. Stephen Tanzer. |
