Smoked leaves and apricots can be found in the boisterous aromas of the 2001 Pinot Gris Herrenweg de Turckheim (indice 2). Pebbles, spices, and smoked yellow plums (mirabelles) can be discerned in this dry-tasting effort. It is concentrated, complex, and well-balanced. Drink it over the next 8 years. In response to requests from consumers for more information as to the character of his non-Vendange Tardive or Selection de Grains Nobles wines. Olivier Humbrecht has devoloped an "indice" scale which appears on the label of each bottle. This indice ranks from 1 to 5 the perceptible sweetness of the wines, and Humbrecht describes it as follows: "1 is totally dry; 2 is not technically dry but the sweetness is not apparent on the palate; 3 is medium sweetness that may gradually disappear with aging; 4 is sweet wine; 5 is for high sweetness, a Vendange Tardive in richness but without botrytis." Humbrecht is to be commended for instituting this system as it will immensely aid consumers.Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524
