Domaine Zind Humbrecht
Turckheim Gewürztraminer
Alsace, France
Gorgeous Gewurz nose of lychee, musky florals, and some clean mountain stream stones. Drier styled in the mouth. Upfront fruit and minerality, a little countering bitter component on the finish. Just about pitch perfect.

Was much drier than expected based on the 94 Turkheim Rieslings I’ve had. But still in excellent shape 27 years later. Sadly my last bottle of this one (purchased back when I owned/ran Passport Wine Club!)

What a riot of aromatics. Lychee, ginger, white flowers, damp roses, exotic tropical fruit and all spice. Leaner and drier than the 2015, no surprise there. This is consistently a great wine from the gravelly valley floor of Turkheim.

Wild, intense aromatics: lychee, dragonfruit, white/yellow/purple flowers, melon, banana taffy / round and medium+ bodied on palate with med- to low acid, which has a slight bitterness to it / fruit aromas shift to some savory almond in the palate with persistent honeyed notes / high alcohol is apparent, but well integrated. Solid 🔥

Jun 15th, 2018Intensely ripe, floral nose with unmistakable spice character. Loads of clove and allspice. Lychee, lemon zest, honeysuckle, pineapple. Very dry with a lush mid palate, creamy mouthfeel and a roasted almond character on the finish. Amazingly fresh and vibrant on the palate for such a low-acid vintage. How this wine retains such freshness and lift on the palate at 3.9 ph is hard to believe, but it indeed has remarkable balance and purity. Not at all heavy or ponderous. I always love ZH.
