Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October 2003

The 2001 Pinot Gris Clos Windsbuhl (indice 5) is a wine of huge ripeness. It has Vendange Tardive levels of sweetness (for Humbrecht it lacked enough botrytis to earn that moniker) yet retains a refined, balanced character. Minerals, smoky apricots, and white peaches are found in its aromatics. Silky-textured, medium to full-bodied, and powerful, it is a broad, intensely flavorful, decadent wine that is crammed with smoke-laced poached pears and peaches. In addition, this exceptional offering has a shockingly long, fruit-filled finish. Projected maturity: 2008-2025+.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, December 2003

not a selection but still contained a sizable percentage of botrytized fruit; 70 g/l r.s.) Exotic dried fruits and honey on the nose. Supersweet but fresh in the mouth, with apricot, hay and honey flavors lifted by a strong spiciness and framed by harmonious acids. Wonderfully smooth and elegant for a wine this rich. Finishes spicy and extremely long. This needs to be served alongside exotic foods, says Olivier, such as Peking duck or fresh foie gras with orange confit.

Wine Spectator, August 2003

A powerful, flamboyant white, this is lush and exotic in texture and flavor, sporting apricot, warm brioche, butter and mineral aromas and flavors, all supported by a lively structure and a hint of astringency on the finish. A wine for rich food. Best from 2005 through 2008. 280 cases made. –BS
