Alsatians think 1995 is a super year for Tokay-Pinot Gris. Certainly Mann's cuvees are strong efforts, yet relatively backward, with surprisingly high acidity, as well as intense, concentrated personalities. The 1995 Tokay-Pinot Gris Furstentum is a slightly off-dry (most readers would consider it dry), exuberantly full-bodied wine with a honeyed, cherry, waxy component. Dense, yet young, this backward, large-scaled wine needs another 2-3 years of cellaring. It should keep for 15 or more years. I do not think anyone who follows the underrated white wines of Alsace would argue that Albert Mann is one of that beautiful region's brightest stars. His 1995s are exceptionally successful, especially his cuvees of Pinot Blanc, Riesling, and Tokay-Pinot Gris.Importer: Peter Weygandt, Weygandt-Metzler, Unionville, PA; tel (610) 932-2745
