($170; 13.5% alcohol with 165 g/l r.s.) Full, bright gold. Exotic, roasted botrytis aromas of toffee, creme brulee and white raisin. Thick and explosively ripe in the mouth; the most roasted in character of all these SGNs but kept fresh by its superb concentration of acidity. Shows a strong flavor of vanilla on the extremely long aftertaste. These 2000 SGNs are a bit less seamless and more phenolic than the remarkably smooth 2001s, but that's splitting hairs: they all made me weak in the knees.

Produced from 14 hectoliter per hectare yields, the 2000 Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal Selection de Grains Nobles sports 147 grams of residual sugar per liter. Candied orange rinds, yellow plums, apricots and peaches are interspersed with smoke in the nose of this jammy, syrupy wine. A massive, hugely concentrated effort is crammed with spices, pepper, and a myriad of super-ripe yellow fruits.

A concentrated sweet white exuding honey, caramel, apricot and orange peel aromas and flavors that orbit around a core of bright acidity. Seamless in texture and structure, with a caressing finish.
