Expressive nose with stone and tropical fruit and a striking mineral note. Showing some development with dried apricot and honey. A touch of sweetness on the medium bodied palate with impeccable balance via vibrant acidity. Long finish. Delicious. Drink or hold.
WSET notes :
Deep gold.
Pronounced on the nose with peach, orange blossom, mango, grapefruit, wet rock, honey, petrol, dried apricot, and ginger. Developing.
Pronounced and offdry on the palate. Medium body, medium alcohol, high acidity, long finish.
Can drink now but has potential for aging.

After a couple of slightly lesser Zind Humbrecht’s from 2009 down the sink recently thank goodness we found a return to form with this bottle. We drank it with chicken piri Piri and it was a delightful combination. Complex and yes it was mature in colour - an intriguing mix of lemon curd, beeswax and paraffin. Definitely something out of the ordinary and really worth it.

Opened by Allred. Light yellow color. Petrol aromas. Not completely dry as I expected. Notes of chamomile tea and spiced pears. This had excellent depth and wonderful secondary nuances. I previously drank the 1997 vintage of this wine and it was about the same quality and have a 2008 sitting in my cellar. 93 points
