Six years later. Lost in cellar. Deep brown/gold like a very old auslese. Old brown hock! Pure, mineral no sign of petrol. Looked as if oxidized. Just enough acidity. Interesting but aged much quicker than expected. Drink now.

Un cru très « solaire », peu élevé et exposé plein sud, aussi sur les années chaudes, il gagne en puissance et perd en fraicheur. Situé sur Turckheim, travaillé en biodynamie depuis longtemps, il repose sur un sol granitique et de micas noirs. Nez extrêmement évolué, cire, miel, acacia… La bouche est encore bien marquée par les sucres résiduels et on sent que le vin n’a pas la grande acidité des millésimes plus frais ou surtout des crus moins solaires… il a gardé une belle ossature, mais on n’a aucun arôme pétrolé ni de ce style d ‘évolution… un semi sec finalement de belle facture au notes de frangipane et d’amande ! Bien +
From Turckheim, the cru is very "solar" bottom of the slope, and southernly exposed, so it might get pretty ripe... It was and still is
Very evoluted, no petrol nor kerosene here, with honey, bee wax, same on the palate, not much acidity to hold it well together... good balance still but nothing too exceptional here. That happens :)

Dense and honeyed texture, but palate expression is very dry (Indice 2) with great cut. Slate, citrus and peach, zest and pit, with saline tones emerging on day two. Prototypical, classic, pure. Great wine. Z-H isn’t always consistent, but the highs are very high indeed.

Too old. Hopefully bottle variation
