Gewurztraminer Clos Windsbuhl  |

WA 95 (8/2014): A decidedly sweet Zind-Humbrecht 2010 Gewurztraminer Clos Windsbuhl smells pungently of caramelized parsnip and celery root, whose intriguingly earthy flavors are complimented on an expansive palate and in a succulently long, rivetingly interactive finish by juicy orange and lemon along with alkaline, chalky, saline and ginger notes. Here is another 2010-vintage instance of Gewurztraminer not only possessed of Riesling-like vivacity and minerality but also of varietal character sublimated to that of site. Incidentally, in a desperate and largely successful attempt to keep boar from once again eating into the profits of this clos, Humbrecht put an extra charge on the electric fence that surrounds it, and smeared honey on the lowest wire so that the wild pigs would make tender nose or tongue contact! Plan to follow this through at least 2035. Humbrecht cautions that it would be a shame to be seduced by its current performance into drinking your stocks down anytime over the next decade.
VM 92+ (11/2012): Bright medium yellow. Fruit salad and spices on the nose, with hints of more exotic fruits. Very sweet and spicy, with a distinct dried fruit quality in the mouth. Shows a slightly bitter-edged phenolic quality on the back end, but this may be mostly a function of some unabsorbed CO2 that will eventually be absorbed. This youthfully hard wine needs patience. Ian D'Agata. |

Pinot Gris Heimbourg VT (375 ML) Scuffed Label |

WA 95 (3/2023): The 2002 Pinot Gris Vendange Tardive Heimbourg displays a radiant golden-orange color and a beautifully clear, precise and fresh but concentrated stone fruit aroma that indicates great concentration and healthy ripeness. The wine is dense and viscous on the palate, very elegant, intense and complex, even playful and enormously long on the balanced and aromatic as well as saline and grippy-mineral, highly stimulating finish. The sweetness is uplifted here by structural elements so that richness is really stimulating here. This is a VT on a very high level given the rather unspectacular, west-facing Turckheim terroir with calcareous marls and the average age of the vines of 17 years. Olivier couldn't have made it any better, I'd say. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in January 2023.
VM 93 (11/2003): Sauternes-like aromas of apricot, orange marmalade, honey, toffee, caramel and vanilla. Candied fruits offer an exhilarating sweetness. Almost SGN-like in the way the wine's viscosity is cut by racy acidity. Very thick and very long on the aftertaste. Stephen Tanzer. |

| JS 98 (6/2021): So spicy and smoky with a hint of mushroom, this is an enormously deep and concentrated dry pinot gris that’s just beginning to open up. With some aeration, ripe melon character is added to the expansive picture. Tons of spice at the imposing, dry finish and just a hint of raisin. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but better from 2023. |

| JS 98 (6/2022): Super smoky, spicy and flinty, this imposing and enveloping pinot gris is barely off-dry. Welcome to a world of smoky and textural complexity on the deep and refined palate. The power and concentration are almost as complete as the ripeness, effortlessly handling the 13.5% alcohol. Super-long, creamy and spicy finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. |

Riesling Clos Saint Urbain Rangen de Thann |

WA 94 (8/2014): White peach and grapefruit – strongly tinged with pit and rind – lend Zind-Humbrecht’s 2010 Riesling Rangen Clos Saint Urbain lusciousness and winsomeness well beyond those displayed by its immediate siblings. To be sure, significantly lower total acidity, higher pH, and (at 9.5 grams) higher residual sugar, are scarcely incidental to that effect, and this wine is plenty bright and zesty. A smoky aura and palate suffusion of peat and black tea such as are associated with this site are very much present, and the invigoratingly energetic penetration of this Riesling’s strikingly long, focused finish is accompanied by a no less notable impression of levity thanks at least in part to analytically modest (12.5%) alcohol. The infectious juiciness here promises to last decades – I wouldn’t want to drink my last bottle before 2035 – and if surplus reserve of extract and sense of energy count toward age-worthiness that may well prove a conservative estimate. This is the vintage that Rangen needs to show its greatest potential. But there have not been many such cool growing seasons of late.
WS 93 (10/2012): A lovely wine, with a minerally undertow and finely tuned acidity framing apricot, kumquat, acacia blossom, smoke and crystallized honey notes that show a hint of lychee. A zesty thread of spice winds through the wine and lingers on the subtle finish. Drink now through 2025. 450 cases made.
VM 92 (11/2012): Pale yellow-gold. Complex, scented nose offers pineapple, smoke, lichee, pepper, mint and hay. Rich, plush and sweet, with harmonious acidity framing the concentrated yellow fruit flavors. A real fruit bomb in the mouth; in fact, today the site's smoky minerality is very much in the background. Nicely dry on the palate but I wanted a bit more definition and thrust. Ian d'Agata. |

| JS 97 (11/2020): A unique dry riesling with an astonishing combination of mini banana, mirabelle, baking spice and sea salt. Super concentrated and super elegant, this has a level of poise that’s very rare in the 2018 vintage. I love the way the silky finish caresses the palate. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. |
