Clos Ste. Hune Alsace Riesling 2007

Medium lemon straw colour . Quite complex and youthful nose , some ripe apple, white peach, mint , wet stones , some floral hints , marmalade and a hint of petrol . On the palate this is quite bold and dense in style with , intense with some ripe apple , white peach , light herbal touch and a very saline , slate driven finish . Hints of citrus peel and camomile. Balanced acidity , good balance if quite rich in style , lots of extract , with a pretty dry , good length citrus tinged finish . Still young and on the basis of this bottle , just entering its drinking window, from now and over the next 15 years . This really does change in the glass and needs some time to show its best, becoming more focused and mineral, the richness giving way to layers of mineral extract and salinity. Really quite impressive. — 4 days ago

Flawless wine! Only thing wrong here is you’re drinking it 20 years too early 🤣🤣🤣✌🏼✌🏼 I’m jealous. It’s still on my bucket list.

Clos Saint Urbain Rangen de Thann Riesling 1989

Riper, fatter and seems more evolved than the more linear and precise 1988, but like that other bottle, dry Alsatian Grand Cru Riesling with great complexity and length, floral, mineral, white stonefruits, different but equally lovely, last bottle, also purchased on release, these are amazing wines!! — 3 months ago

Jealous! Love this producer. Just got back from Alsace. An ‘88 is on my bucket list since it’s a birth year.

@Shay A, one thing I really appreciated was that both Z-H wines had been made DRY — I recall a period (late 1990s/early 2000s) where a lot of Alsatian producers were being criticized by consumers who didn’t know whether the wines were dry, semi-sweet, sweeter, etc., which IIRC led to many Alsatian producers using that 1-5 (??) “scale” on the bottle to indicate sweetness levels. These two bottles were obviously made dry, which I appreciated!!

@Rene Van De Beek Nee. Mooie wijn, maar te hoog in zuren vonden verschillende proevers. En stond naast de geweldige 2017 Wagner Stempel GG Heerkretz 😏

Alsace Pinot Blanc 2022

2022 vintage. Aromas of lemon and minerals. A well-made light bodied wine with flavors of unripe pear and lemon and crushed gravel takes over at the end. — 22 days ago

Brand (Turckheim) Grand Cru Riesling 2015

Very enjoyable! With complexity but still easy to approach, has petroleum notes alternating with flowery and fruity. More on the ripe and even a tiny sweet side. — 3 months ago
