  February 16, 2024 - Lovely! Broader when a bit warmer, more collected when a little colder, we could not agree which was better. Dry without a very dry mouth feel. Round notes of apple and yellow fruits, and minerality. Initially we were surprised how embedded the acidity was, however acidity emerged with time. Long. Carries itself extremely well across a range of foods.

  May 28, 2022 - Sol ute, sol inne, sol i hjertet, sol i sinnet🎶
  …er assosiasjonen som dukker opp til Zind-Humbrecht Clos St. Urbain Rangen de Thann 2012.
  Vinen er tørr og gyllen på farge og man dufter at druene er dyrket på et solfylt sted: bakte epler, sitrus, salvie, honning og voks.
  I munnen er følelsen god og rund uten å være mektig. Mye «sol» her også, høy på fruktsødme med ypperlig syrestruktur, medium pluss. Lang deilig lengde avrunder det hele, og lykken kommer snikende. For en vin! Vellaget, balansert og i et perfekt drikkevindu. Herfra og ut kan den lagres lenge enda, men dette var magisk godt nå også.
  Valget falt på denne fordi vi fortjente det og fordi de hvite aspargesene ble servert med hollandaise saus. Vi angret ikke!

  October 31, 2020 - Very dry and surprisingly rich, with an almost chardonnay like profile - apple and rich tropical fruits - finishes with a touch of salinity.

  July 13, 2020 - No notes taken. I didn‘t find this wine overly interesting. It has a good freshness and soft structure with that touch of sweetness and that signature more floral and perfumed Alsace vs German style I don‘t particularly like. I clearly prefer the purity of fruit driven style of the German Rieslings and the fresh- and sharpness these wine can achieve.

  May 9, 2020 - Deukket uten notater. Litt tung på labben. Fungerer flott til Hvasser-asparges med hollandaise, men litt kjedelig drikke aleine. Mangler noe friskhet på tross av markant syre. Men pluss for matmatchen.
