| VM 90+ (11/2003): Pale gold color. Explosive fruit aromas of peach, quince and orange zest, complicated by butter and smoke. Big, rich, dusty and chewy, with a flavor of orange marmalade. Very dense, strong pinot gris with noteworthy inner-mouth energy. Finishes very long, with no impression of heaviness. It's becoming increasingly difficult to find seriously rich but dry pinot gris like this. Stephen Tanzer. |

Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg "D" |
$95 |

|
| |
| VM 93 (4/2018): Bright straw-green. Citrus and floral aromas and flavors are complicated by strong spicy notes. Ripe but juicy, offering suave flavors that persist nicely on the lime-accented, youthfully chewy finish. This surprisingly refined wine (the Dudenstein never strikes me as giving especially elegant wines) is one of Boxler’s Rieslings from this site that I’ve liked best at a similar stage of development. This site has richer, slightly deeper soil than other sites on the Sommerberg (it can get as deep as two feet), so the Dudenstein rarely suffers from water stress and always gives a much richer wine than other nearby slopes. It is, however, a very difficult site to harvest because the grapes have to be picked quickly - in fact, it’s always the first site to be harvested by Boxler, as sugar accumulates so easily that it becomes hard in some years to make a totally dry wine. (Drink between 2023-2030). Ian D'Agata. |

Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg Dudenstein |

|
| |
| WA 94 (6/2017): From vines planted between 1946 and 1953 on the limestone section of the granite terroir, the 2015 Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg Dudenstein is very clear, pure and flinty on the nose, stunningly cool, very precise and with lovely notes of lemon leaves and peel! Boxler picked the Dudenstein at the first of his grands crus and very early at around 100 degrees Oechsle. The deeper soil produces large Rieslings, but this 2015 is most of all pure, finessed and salty and reveals a lot of vitality and finesse. |

VM 90+ (2/2016): Straw-green. Intriguing aromas of lemon, green apple, pear and smoke are lifted by notes of lavender and cinnamon. Supple yet quite bright in the mouth, showing good acid cut to the juicy flavors of ripe pear, baked apple and sweet spices. Finishes very dry and pure, with noteworthy persistence and an impression of high acidity. I found this to be extremely lemony ("at 2 g/l residual sugar and roughly 7 g/l total acidity, this is the driest Pinot Gris I have ever made,” admitted Pierre Trimbach), but as the estate holds onto its wines for at least a couple of years prior to releasing them, it's likely this will have rounded out considerably by the time you get a chance to taste it. A resolutely dry, food-friendly, very promising Alsace Pinot Gris. (Drink between 2018-2026). Ian D'Agata.
WA 89 (6/2017): The 2014 Pinot Gris Réserve offers a clear and aromatic bouquet of ripe and intense white fruits along with some white champignon aromas. Bottled with 2.5 grams of residual sugar, this is a very piquant and intense Pinot that is great to have with food thanks to its salinity and grip. It may not be fully ripe, but it's pretty functional. There is almost no hint of suzuki here, at maximum a very tiny bit. |

VM 95 (12/2006): Pale, bright yellow. Ripe pineapple, liquid stone and exotic honey on the nose, with a spicy lift that suggests an oak influence this wine does not possess. On entry, this is sweeter and creamier than the Frederic Emile, but it livens up quickly in the middle, showing powerful minerality and sharply delineated flavors of liquid stone, pineapple and citrus peel. Still, this conveys a distinctly glyceral impression that suggests more sweetness than its 5 grams of residual sugar, no doubt a function of the 20% or so botrytized berries (in contrast to the Frederic Emile, which included no botrytis). Communicates an impression of power with elegance, finishing minerally and long but not austere. Pierre Trimbach compared this wine to the estate's great 1990. This is already showing more Rosacker terroir than riesling character. About 9,000 bottles were made from 1.5 hectares of vines.
WA 94 (2/2008): The 2004 Riesling Clos Ste-Hune smells deliciously, mysteriously and complexly of grapefruit, blood orange, sassafras, mirabelle distillate, licorice, truffle, musk, lily, and chalk. Creamy and much richer on the palate than its Frederic Emile counterpart, it displays no less sheer density, stony minerality, or penetration. The finish here is truly palate staining, and as multi-faceted as the aromas. It would probably be a shame to uncork a bottle (especially given the aftermarket prices I have been seeing on these wines!) for at least a couple of more years after it is released in 2009. |

VM 95 (2/2016): Pale yellow-green. Vibrant aromas of mirabelle, lemon, crushed stone and fresh herbs, with a nuance of Chablis-like oyster shell. Densely packed and youthfully closed, even austere, but hints at lovely high notes of jasmine, lemon verbena and lichee. Wonderfully stylish and intense in the mouth, closing long and precise, with orange zest, mineral and spice notes. This will evolve gracefully for a long time. Ian D'Agata.
JS 95 (9/2015): Aromas of sliced apple, pear, lime rind and camembert. Full-bodied, dense and layered with so much ripe fruit and power. Then acidity takes off. Wow. Coming out next year.
WA 93 (5/2011): The combination of smoky pungency and citric brightness of Trimbach’s 2008 Riesling Clos Ste-Hune is almost eye-wateringly intense – and that’s just on inhaling! In the mouth, the dynamic interplay of energetic, efficacious citrus and white currant with chalk, salt, crushed stone, and apricot kernel will keep you stimulated and intrigued long after the flavors have faded, and that is already a long time. This buoyant, handsomely austere Ste-Hune will not require recharging over the next couple of decades, and in time should put on a truly spectacular display. |

| VM 93 (11/2012): Deeper pale green than the Frederic Emile. Very spicy aromas of green apple, chlorophyll and thyme. Enters with lime and green apple notes, then turns riper and richer in the middle, showing more exotic banana and passion fruit qualities with air. Finishes very fleshy, saline and long. This is bigger but not obviously better than the 2011 Frederic Emile and struck me as a rather salty, chunky version of CSH. Ian d'Agata. |

JS 96 (9/2015): This has incredible white pepper and slate aromas and flavors with dried fruits such as lemons, limes and papaya. Full-bodied, dry and very intense. It goes on for minutes. This won't be available until 2019.
WS 95 (7/2017): This sleek, elegant white crackles with acidity. Tightly meshed today, showing more petrol and mineral character than white peach, spice and pine notes, but the density and length should make this a superstar of the cellar. To be released Spring 2020. Best from 2022 through 2035.
WA 95 (10/2015): Cool, aristocratic and iron-rich on the nose where some flinty notes are displayed the 2012 Riesling Clos Ste Hune starts very pure and demanding on the nose. On the palate you can find as much energy and tension as in an electric power station. The wine is very clear, fresh and pure, shows lots of salt on the very elegant and seductive palate. The finish is very long and complex and indicates a terrific aging potential. |

Dense, fresh and juicy, displaying outstanding sugar-acid balance and an opulent mouthfeel that is nicely lifted by penetrating notes of mirabelle, lime, wet stones, lemon peel and almond.

| WA 93+ (3/2024): The bright-colored 2018 Clos Ste Hune Riesling shows an intense and very concentrated bouquet of ripe fruits and crushed stones. Muschelkalk limestone dominates the palate, which reveals a powerful, dense and still quite bitter Riesling whose compact phenols still cage this dormant Riesling on a stony and saline bed. The finish, however is very potent and long. A bigger glass and more time probably would have helped the wine significantly, because I believe it's greater than this score is suggesting. 13.3% stated alcohol plus four grams per liter of residual sugar. Tasted at the domaine in May 2022. |

Full-bodied, rich, and opulent, this is a compellingly huge yet elegant offering. Its exuberant personality possesses candied berries, rose water, violets, mangoes, poached pears, and clove notes. Anticipated maturity: now-2014.
VM 93 (7/2001): Intriguing aromas of jasmine, gardenia, curry powder and minerals. Extremely rich, fat and full in the mouth; dusty but not bitter on the back end. Very spicy and very long. Tastes less sweet than its 102 g/l r.s. would suggest. Stephen Tanzer. |

WA 94 (8/2014): The Weinbach 2009 Pinot Gris Altenbourg Vendange Tardive Trie Speciale features caramel apple, mango chutney, and liquefied heliotrope and lily in a flamboyant display of ennobled fruit concentration, decadent perfume, and spice. Seamlessly polished, it pours out generous sheer botrytis honey on a creamy, expansive mid-palate and prodigiously, seductively sustained finish. Crystallized ginger offers stimulating counterpoint in a superb performance likely to merit revisiting through at least 2035.
VM 93 (11/2012): Bright golden yellow. Very intense aromas of passion fruit, strawberry, truffle and caramel apple. Rich and thick on the palate but with fresh acidity framing and extending the ripe citrus, tropical fruit and smoky creme brulee flavors through a very long, creamy finish. Thistastes likean almost SGN-level VT without muchbotrytis, but the numbers--116.5 g/l residual sugar and 6.1 g/l total acidity--do not prepare the taster for its massive mouthfeel. |

VM 96 (12/2006): Racy, spicy, rot-ennobled aromas of fresh pineapple, crystallized citrus peel, orange marmalade and honey. Glyceral-thick and silky on entry, then the bracing acids take over the palate, giving extraordinary intensity and penetration to this exhilarating wine. A great expression of pure botrytis, with a mounting, palate-staining finish that goes on for minutes. This will make for great drinking over the next 20 years. This one hit my G-spot. Stephen Tanzer.
WA 95 (3/2017): Served during a dinner at the Auberge de l'Ill in June 2016, the 2004 Riesling Schlossberg Sélection de Grains Nobles showed a very clear and precise, yet subtle and elegant bouquet that still reflected the Schlossberg terroir. This was also the case on the palate, where it wasn't the sweetness and concentration of the Riesling that was the most fascinating feature, but instead the great finesse, freshness and mineral piquancy. This SGN is full of intensity and tension, and the long and persistent finish reveals a stimulating grip. |

Gewurztraminer Clos Windsbuhl |
$59 |

|
| |
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 |
$65 |
1 |
|
| |
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. |

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. |
