Reviews for the 2000 Vintage From the The Wine Advocate, Issue 143 (Oct 2002): "Points: 87. Smoky white peaches and pears can be discerned in the nose of the 2001 Pinot Gris Fruehmess Vieilles Vignes. Oily-textured, broad, and rich, this wonderful value is light to medium-bodied. It has loads of depth, flavor, and length to its smoky yellow fruit dominated character. Projected maturity: now-2010." © The Wine Advocate
