2005 Zind-Humbrecht Riesling Rangen de Thann Clos St. Urbain - France, Alsace, Alsace Grand Cru AOC (8/23/2014)
Nice light golden color, faint whiff of petrol and honeycomb on the nose, palate is quite intense, with rich fruit, apricot pit, bees wax, quickly turning steely and minerally on the quite dry finish, with plenty of acidity, almost to the point of harshness. Quite nice, though perhaps lacking any great complexity (maybe too young?), and seemingly pushes the envelope just a bit too much. (91 pts.)
Thanks for the note. I have one and will probably hold onto it for a while.
