Smells initially like pine resin. Taste is unctuous honey with an additional lingering (but generally pleasant) bitterness that stands out on the aftertaste. A small bit of the trademark gerwurz lychee, but the honeyed notes kind of overwhelm that. A little simple on the finish and hasn't quite gelled together yet, though it did get better as it opened up.
Good find in a hypermarket, but may need some time.

Smells a bit of plums on the nose. Taste has some lees, brine, and bitter lemon. Interesting mouthfeel. Not much aftertaste. It's fine, but perhaps not my personal style.

Straight-on honey leading into more typical Pinot Gris flavors. Full bodied without generally being too unctuous. Not terribly complex, but a pleasant aftertaste. Probably at its peak right now.
