Lucien Albrecht 2003 Pinot Noir Alsace Amplus ($46 at release, $55-ish now). Concentrated but delicate, with a mineral through-line that supports red fruit, spice and oak character. Long, compelling finish. Drinking very well now, and should continue to evolve for another three or four years. Locate this wine online or in your area. (2009-04-30)
