Tuesday, September 19, 2023 - The ‘15 vintage of Zind-Humbrecht’s Brand Riesling was somewhat of a hype. Was it real?

Golden and brilliant. Rich aromas of honey, peach, apricot, citrus, saffron and warm spice. Could it be too big?

Juicy and rich yellow stone fruit, with hit of spice and honey notes in the early palate. Citrus notes and fresh riesling acidity is a mere necessity here, and tightens the wine nicely up together with modest bitter citrus peel notes. Meduum plus body, and lovely complexity. Long finish.

Worth the hype? Dunno, but great wine still. Glad to have a few more.
