| Community Tasting Notes (average 96 pts. and median of 96 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by vilepotabissabinum on 5/10/2014: Salinity, stone, sea-breeze. (1888 views) | | Tasted by cfk49 on 9/21/2013 & rated 96 points: Léonard Humbrecht's last vintage, and such a contrast to what was to come afterward. It's all here -- tremendous depth and energy to go with the smokiness from the volcanic soils, and great liveliness -- this wine can still go another 25 years. Truly fabulous example of one of the many aspects of Riesling. (1992 views) | | Tasted by j45 on 3/30/2010: lighter in color and more reserved than the '89 enjoyed on the same day. this took a full hour+ to open up and reveal its charms. it drank fantastically throughout the evening, gaining complexity, richness and minerality with each sip.

| Zind-Humbrecht Producer website Domaine Zind-Humbrecht is one of the stars of the Alsace, in the northeastern corner of France. Fought over for decades by Germany and France, the region, according to Robert M. Parker Jr., “is perhaps the most underrated and underutilized source of great white wines in the world.” Zind-Humbrecht was created in 1959 by Leonard Humbrecht and Genevieve Zind. Their son Olivier is now instrumental in running the 99-acre estate, which the family still owns. Like many Alsatian producers, Zind-Humbrecht makes white wines in varying degrees of sweetness, from dessert whites to very dry wines. The vineyards are planted to 30% Riesling, 30% Gewurztraminer, 29% Pinot Gris, and smaller amounts of Pinot Noir, Muscat, Chardonnay, Auxerrois and Pinot Blanc. Up to 18,000 cases are produced annually. Many are Grand Crus and single vineyard bottlings.
