Tasting profile
Amber-hued and richly textured, this Pinot Gris shows tropical fruit, pineapple and passion fruit alongside honey, quince, smoke and candied citrus peel, with noticeable residual sweetness balanced by fresh acidity. The palate is oily and dense yet long and well-balanced, with warming alcohol that pairs as readily with food as it drinks on its own.

From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The nose shows immediate and obvious flinty/smoky aromas. It is actually quite intense at this early stage and the volcanic influence is unmistakable. The palate demonstrate how elegant a wine can be if harvested a very low yield, yet still carrying obvious ripeness elements, like a small roundness on the middle palate. The acidity, noble bitterness and strong mineral character make the finish drier than expected.
