  • 1994 Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Gris Rangen de Thann Clos St. Urbain Vendange Tardive - France, Alsace, Alsace Grand Cru AOC (3/15/2014)
    Magnificent, in all regards. Though this is just getting started, it’s already quite pleasing. Very lively acids, bright orchard and citric fruits on a bed of minerals and white floral. Spice seems to dart in and out, adding further dimensions. Medium-bodied, and never cloying; pleasingly sweet, with a cool, herbal, stony finish that invites additional inquiry. Top class, and here for many more years. highly recommended, drink thru 2029

Aerated to decanter 2 hours, served non-blind, and paired very well with homemade flan. A wow wine for geeks.

The various 1994 VT’s from Zind Humbrecht were pretty nifty across the board, including this one.

I would have said this, but you beat me to it. ZH was strong in 1994.

Thanks for the note Tim.
