Domaine Zind Humbrecht

Clos Saint Urbain Rangen de Thann Riesling 2017

First sentence is a tester. Now full note. Pale to mid gold in colour - such clarity. Aromatics of pear and white peach - Barb thought a sandalwood note. Musky. So clean - not a hint of TDN (petrol/kerosene). A great texture and mouthfeel verging on luscious. Light to medium weight palate. Low acid. Thoroughly delicious. — 4 days ago

@Bob McDonald, this has long been a favorite from Zind-Humbrecht, sometime in the last 6-8 months I opened the 1988 and 1989 of this cuvée, one showed evolution and was excellent, the other tasted like a 5-10 year old Grand Cru Riesling!! This cuvée will age effortlessly!!

Domaine Ostertag

Muenchberg Alsace Grand Cru Riesling 2016

Initial aromatics of lychee and white peach. Initial comment to see if note is accepted. A Grand Cru Riesling from Alsace which is unique because of its soil type which is volcanic rather than sandstone - the latter in the minority. Dry Riesling with a certain spiciness. Deserves to be a Grand Cru. The vineyard was first planted in the 12th Century by the Cistercian Monks hence the name Muenchberg (Mountain of the Monks). — 14 days ago

@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 😏
