February 26, 2022 - initially opened and I though it was seriously oxidized; however after about 20 -30 minutes it opened up; nice dried stone fruit; marmalade; just a little oxidized tase which I liked; I do think this wine can benefit from some air

December 16, 2021 - A bitter sweet note as this is my last bottle of non ZH VT or SGN or basically, what would be construed as a dry table wine. And dry it was. Age as really chisled this Riesling into a pretty refined, highly terroir driven, and flat out enjoyable drink. While it still maintained the Domaine’s calling card of richness and power, I loved the almost peaty quality exhibited - very fresh - long on the finish. Heck, I’d further venture this has at least another 5 years of quality drinking ahead.

February 2, 2021 - This is a great Zind-Humbrecht- it’s got all the characteristic extract and explosiveness in an off-dry package that’s perfectly balanced by the acidity. The palate has dried apricot, preserved orange peel, saffron, honey, and a bit of nutty oxidation. What a stunner...sometimes ZH can be a bit over the top but this is one where the style really works.
