Tasting this monumental Pinot Gris Clos Windsbuhl Vendange Tardives is a mind-boggling experience. It is stunning in its completeness. It has exemplary breadth, texture, refinement, balance, and length. While it is forward and at first appears to be giving all its got, with time it becomes evident that it has even more underlying power and concentration that will be displayed in time, with cellaring.The 1989 is sweet (85 grams of residual sugar per liter versus 60). It has a golden color and bursts forth from the glass with aromas reminiscent of Peking duck skin soaked in plum sauce. This awesomely complex, medium-to-full-bodied wine is crammed with sweet spices, minerals, tropical fruits, and stones. Extraordinarily, the density of fruit and balanced structure of this jewel completely covers the sugar. It is liquid heaven. Drink it between 2004 and 2020.
