The Fallers' 2008 Pinot Gris Altenbourg smells (nose) hair-raisingly of ripe peach, citrus oil, wood smoke and a sea breeze-like meld of salinity and alkalinity. Powerful and penetrating, broad and oily-textured yet bright, this harbors 14.6% alcohol; acidity that would be high for a Riesling; and a palpable sense of extract, all of which practically cancel-out its 32 grams of residual sugar. The finish grips (almost rudely) and invigorates with strong smoked meat, peach kernel, and alkalinity. This is not for the faint of heart, but it's impossible not to be impressed in some sense, nor can I repress my curiosity about what might become of this with a few years in bottle.
