| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.8 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 9 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by MJReb on 10/15/2023 & rated 93 points: Chez Zim: some petrol and a bit of exotic fruits, saline with a very good length. Well balanced and in a perfect drinking spot. (356 views) | | | Tasted by Ltim BE on 1/6/2019 & rated 90 points: Pure, flinty and mineral. A bit dry but really nice with Indian food. (1836 views) | | | Tasted by dead puddle on 2/26/2015 & rated 90 points: Very pure , clean and bright riesling, mineral, slightly fizzy, excellent, but simple. A bit disapointing for a Rangen, pretending to be one of the best World Riesling. (3857 views) | | | Tasted by Philippe_C on 12/12/2014 & rated 90 points: Very nice nose of accacia flower, honey, aubepine... the taste started very dry and has been gaining power with aeration (3653 views) | | | Tasted by Tavastgatan on 6/1/2014 & rated 92 points: Almost 3 years since my last Alsace! But this is really something special. Smoky minerality and fine, dry and elegant fruit. (4059 views) | | | Tasted by short and confused on 3/1/2014 & rated 94 points: Pale gold tinged straw. Salt, gin, flint, lees, ripe white fruit and flowers on the nose. High wire juice in the mouth. Rapier like acidity practically skewers my hapless taste buds. I think there are some notes of iodine stones and white orchard fruit but who knows. This is seriously intense stuff. Grows in complexity with warmth and air. What will happen with time? (3940 views) | | | Tasted by Fatty Cat on 2/19/2012 & rated 96 points: Mid Feb 2012 in restaurant "Schwarzwaldstube, Traube Tonbach": golden amber color; grapefruit, apple, minerals; mellow acid on the palate; medium/full body; smooth texture.
Maybe my rating is a bit too enthusiastic but the wine went perfectly with the oyster dish. (1137 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.
