  July 30, 2023 - 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.

  July 29, 2023 - 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.

  January 31, 2022 - 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
