| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.8 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by dlduchon on 4/19/2015 & rated 88 points: still hanging in there. Drinking fine and should last a few more years without serious degradation. Good acid finish keeping it in balance and helping out with the longevity. Lichi nose with a faint hint of petrol. Medium bodied and the acid reduces the perception of sweetness to seem like a "drier" style for the varietal. (1495 views) | | | Tasted by Paul Lin on 6/12/2009 & rated 88 points: Alsatian Wines Blind Tasting (Newport Beach, CA): Rich and aged aromas of Captain Crunch cereal and caramel. Honey, dried peaches, and a touch of oyster shells on the palate. This was the group's #2 wine. (2849 views) | | | Tasted by Double-A on 10/26/1999 & rated 95 points: Deep gold colour. Ripe, forward aromas of lychee, apricot, perfume and mineral. Huge, ripe palate; dry to off-dry with big replays and good acidity. Long, mouth-filling, lip-smacking finish.
Score: I wrote WOW and underlined it in the margins of my tasting notes. (663 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.
