More finesse & elegance bs the Rotenberg, yet with the same power hidden inside. Incredible precision, great balance - a touch more spice and a mineral streak piercing the wine. Beautiful. — 6 years ago
2005 Selection de Grains Nobles from Zind-Humbrecht from the famed Rotenberg Grand Cru. Medium Amber. Marmalade, peach syrup and apricot jam. Nutmeg and caramelised oranges. On the palate, super ripe and lusciously sweet syrup with great acidity and full bodied. Great mid palate allows the acidity to calm the syrup notes. Long long finish. Huge concentration. Apricot dominant. Caramel and hot cream. Carnation milk. Viscous. Wow. Something special. NB: surprised this isn't labelled Quintessence de Grains Nobles given the luscious nature of this wine. — 10 years ago
Super complex nose. Layered and confectionery. Matchstick. Intense minerality. Powerful and elegant. The minerality. Jagged, rocky minerality. Concentrated. Attack is powerful and the finish is so refined. Wonderful purity. Long and detailed. Chewy and concentrated. Very dry. Such finesse. Trucker in a tutu. Wow. Super pure. What a finish. This is genius. This has the finesse and elegance of the top wines of Germany. — 3 years ago

Fruit forward, but not offensively sweet. Pear, lychee and honey crisp apples, with passion fruit on the aftertaste. Smooth and delightfully easy to drink. — 10 years ago
