Domaine Zind Humbrecht

Herrenweg de Turckheim Gewürztraminer 1994

Honeyed apricot, with a little saline and a twist of lemon. Slightly off-dry, and showing drier than the nose would suggest, it has definitely peaked but has plenty of fuel left in the tank. — 10 years ago

Nice sparkling. Good lees on the nose and in the mouth, maybe too much? But I like it. — 11 years ago

Achleiten Smaragd Riesling

what a riesling statement!

super elegant, not baroque, crisp and focused - and if blind presented you know in the second it's an "achleiten": the wine stinks a bit of harbour breeze, saline air, broken mussels and seaweed, fuel gas. ...and stone fruit.
fantastic!

all that with highly drinkable 12.5% alcohol

Egon Müller

Scharzhofberger Auslese Riesling

1997 vintage. From Jay. did not start well! massive amounts of kerosene and jet fuel on the nose...i looked at the somm and said "i feel like i'm at an airport!". once the kerosene blew off, which did not take more than about 10 to 15 minutes, things got very interesting. quite a special wine. viscously rich with razor-like acidity that burst with ripeness and finesse. the balance of the wine is sublime with intense concentration to complement the searing acidity. yellow citrus, honey and floral essence (white flowers) shine through and linger on the palette together with a slight nuttiness which delves into a finish which although is not epic is certainly worthy of applause! 97/100 — 11 years ago
