The Great Terroirs of Domaine Zind Humbrecht (Raleigh, NC): Medium gold in color, this wine exhibited exactly what I set out to prove. The wine was Rangen first and Gewurz second. Though some of the traditional characteristics of the usually flamboyant Gewurz grape were there if you looked for them, what lept out of the glass was Rangen - minerals, earth, lots of peat. A slight roughness on the palate gives away that this is the Gewurz. Medium bodied and drier than most Rangen Gewurz ( I would guess a 2 on ZH's 1-5 scale ), the medium length finish closed out this victory of terroir over varietal. 50+12+12+8+8 = 90

Sadly past it, despite being well cellared. Bitter and astringent. Drink up soon as other examples may still be ok but feeble.
