Stealing

There's such an interesting texture about the Jules Taylor Pinot Gris 2006 but I feel like I'm stealing wine notes because that's exactly what it says on the back of the bottle. Let's plough ahead anyway....

Deep straw gold with a hint of 'onion skin' brown. Interesting texture. The wine starts off suggesting oiliness but then rearranges itself in the mouth as the palate finishes long and clean with shiny citrus underpinned by incense smoke. The ubiquitous pear flavour of Pinot Gris is still apparent with a suggestion of savoury straw. A bit like 'pandan' (the vanilla of the east), which is a savoury aromatic flax, combining with guava and tingling a spiced mandarin finish. REALLY interesting texture.
