| Community Tasting Notes (average 83.7 pts. and median of 82 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Fatty Cat on 12/23/2021 & rated 82 points: Late Dec 2021: green-brownish amber color; opulent nose of apples and peaches; dull texture and high acidity on the palate.
The bouquet of this bottle was a real stunner. Unluckily the palate showed that this bottle was past his prime, on the bring of defectiveness. (405 views) | | | Tasted by G_H on 7/19/2019 & rated 78 points: Lacking acidity, no minerality, lacking depth... not a good wine (751 views) | | | Tasted by Bob H on 6/3/2016: My last bottle; color is a full gold/bronze in the glass. Ripe pineapple/white fruits on the slightly oxidative nose.
Full-bodied for a white; surprisingly this still shows some reasonable level of supporting acidity as well. A bitter note on the finish slightly detracts, but other than that, no real complaints here. A nice illustration of just how long the plateau of maturity can last with well-made wines - while this was undoubtedly better five years ago, it's still capable of providing pleasure & provoking interest today. (1320 views) | | | Tasted by Dave Dalluge on 10/16/2011 & rated 91 points: Three Dinners: Poured after the '91 and not nearly as good. Shows as slightly oxidized compared to the '91. Still rocking with great flavors, great balance and a long, satisfying finish. (3856 views) |
| 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.
