Gewurztraminer Clos Windsbuhl

$59

WA 95 (8/2014): A decidedly sweet Zind-Humbrecht 2010 Gewurztraminer Clos Windsbuhl smells pungently of caramelized parsnip and celery root, whose intriguingly earthy flavors are complimented on an expansive palate and in a succulently long, rivetingly interactive finish by juicy orange and lemon along with alkaline, chalky, saline and ginger notes. Here is another 2010-vintage instance of Gewurztraminer not only possessed of Riesling-like vivacity and minerality but also of varietal character sublimated to that of site. Incidentally, in a desperate and largely successful attempt to keep boar from once again eating into the profits of this clos, Humbrecht put an extra charge on the electric fence that surrounds it, and smeared honey on the lowest wire so that the wild pigs would make tender nose or tongue contact! Plan to follow this through at least 2035. Humbrecht cautions that it would be a shame to be seduced by its current performance into drinking your stocks down anytime over the next decade.

VM 92+ (11/2012): Bright medium yellow. Fruit salad and spices on the nose, with hints of more exotic fruits. Very sweet and spicy, with a distinct dried fruit quality in the mouth. Shows a slightly bitter-edged phenolic quality on the back end, but this may be mostly a function of some unabsorbed CO2 that will eventually be absorbed. This youthfully hard wine needs patience. Ian D'Agata.

Riesling Clos Saint Urbain Rangen de Thann

$95

WA 94 (8/2014): White peach and grapefruit – strongly tinged with pit and rind – lend Zind-Humbrecht’s 2010 Riesling Rangen Clos Saint Urbain lusciousness and winsomeness well beyond those displayed by its immediate siblings. To be sure, significantly lower total acidity, higher pH, and (at 9.5 grams) higher residual sugar, are scarcely incidental to that effect, and this wine is plenty bright and zesty. A smoky aura and palate suffusion of peat and black tea such as are associated with this site are very much present, and the invigoratingly energetic penetration of this Riesling’s strikingly long, focused finish is accompanied by a no less notable impression of levity thanks at least in part to analytically modest (12.5%) alcohol. The infectious juiciness here promises to last decades – I wouldn’t want to drink my last bottle before 2035 – and if surplus reserve of extract and sense of energy count toward age-worthiness that may well prove a conservative estimate. This is the vintage that Rangen needs to show its greatest potential. But there have not been many such cool growing seasons of late.

WS 93 (10/2012): A lovely wine, with a minerally undertow and finely tuned acidity framing apricot, kumquat, acacia blossom, smoke and crystallized honey notes that show a hint of lychee. A zesty thread of spice winds through the wine and lingers on the subtle finish. Drink now through 2025. 450 cases made.

VM 92 (11/2012): Pale yellow-gold. Complex, scented nose offers pineapple, smoke, lichee, pepper, mint and hay. Rich, plush and sweet, with harmonious acidity framing the concentrated yellow fruit flavors. A real fruit bomb in the mouth; in fact, today the site's smoky minerality is very much in the background. Nicely dry on the palate but I wanted a bit more definition and thrust. Ian d'Agata.

Mr. K The Noble Man Chardonnay (375 ML)

$129

WA 97 (8/2004): While richer, sweeter, and more unctuous than the Iceman, 2001 Mr. K The Noble Man (Chardonnay), a Trockenbeerenauslese look-alike, possesses nervy, vibrant acidity that is hard to imagine in a wine of this mass and richness. The residual sugar is 255 grams per liter, with an amazing 11.1 grams per liter of acidity, and 11.7% finished alcohol.

VM 94-95 (8/2005): (for 375 ml.; made from air-dried grapes from Alban Vineyard; 350 grams per liter of r.s., 12.8 grams of acidity and 7.8% alcohol) Deep orange-gold. Aromas of orange peel, clove, menthol and white raisin, with a whiff of Benedictine. Thick and spicy but less glyceral than the chardonnay owing to its huge acidity. And yet I find this less bright than the chardonnay. flavors dominated by the cherry/almond/marzipan family, with hints of honey, raisin, caramel and nuts. Finishes extremely long, with saline and white raisin hints.

Mr. K The Noble Man Chardonnay (375 ML)

$130

WA 95 (8/2009): The 2006 Mr. K. The Nobleman Chardonnay (200 grams of residual sugar per liter) reveals phenomenal fresh, lively acidity as well as wonderful honeyed peach, marmalade, tropical fruit, and creme brulee characteristics. It is a Trockenbeerenauslese-styled wine that is a fitting tribute to the effusive and much revered Alois Kracher.

VM 94 (12/2009): (200 grams per liter residual sugar with 10.2 g/l (!) acidity) Bronze-gold color. Smoky pit fruit and orange marmalade aromas are complemented by spicecake and white pepper. Deep, sweet and creamy in texture, offering weighty pit fruit liqueur flavors and mounting spiciness. Clings to the palate with impressive sweetness but the overall impression is of spice and energy.

WA 96 (6/2002): The aromatically demure 1999 #6 Grande Cuvee Nouvelle Vague Trockenbeerenauslese has the texture of 10-W-40 motor oil, yet has exquisite balance. Tangy peaches, apricots, butter, and tropical fruits can be found in this prodigious wine's personality. Projected maturity: 2005-2030+.

WS 90 (9/2002): A well-integrated sweetie, combining rich, caramel and citrus flavors and a vibrant structure. Although intense, it shows more grace than power. Drink now through 2008. 1,400 cases made.

TBA #6 Nouvelle Vague Grande Cuvee (375 ML)

$59

WA 96 (10/2003): Spices, new French oak, and super-ripe pears can be discerned in the aromatics of the magnificent 2000 #6 Grande Cuvee Trockenbeerenauslese Nouvelle Vague (9.5% alcohol, 233 grams residual sugar/liter, and 7.8 grams/liter total acidity). Aged for 24 months in new oak barrels, this tangy, lively, medium- to full-bodied effort has superb balance. Candied apples, jammy apricots, red currants, and hints of citrus zests are found throughout its flavor profile and extensive finish. Drink it over the next 25-30 years.

VM ** (1/2003): With only around 10% alcohol (like the #6), this is extraordinarily creamy and rich even by Kracher standards, yet has an integration of fresh citrus, a smooth sedate palate personality, and a delicacy of touch that #6 misses. Apple jelly, baked peach, blood orange and brown spices abound in the finish. Subtle suggestions of fruit pit bitterness add interest and counterpoint to the sweetness. 2 stars. David Schildknecht

TBA #7 Nouvelle Vague Chardonnay (375 ML)

$59

WA 94 (10/2003): Butterscotch, cream, and peaches are found in the nose of the syrupy 2000 #7 Chardonnay Trockenbeerenauslese Nouvelle Vague (7.5% alcohol, 295.9 grams residual sugar/liter, and 6.5 grams/liter total acidity). This creamy textured wine’s mouth-feel is as soft as a goose down pillow. Its thick, full-bodied character has flavors reminiscent of butterscotch squares whipped into condensed milk. Drink it over the next 15-20 years.

TBA #7 Nouvelle Vague Chardonnay (375 ML)

Lightly Bin-Soiled Label

$59

VM ** (11/2003): Apple jelly, honey, apricot nectar and sweet distilled herbal notes on the nose. Pure, rich, deftly and deceptively light in palate impression, this also brings more spice and grip to bear on the chardonnay than its 2000 vintage counterpart. A model of poise and proportionality and a marvel of length. 2 stars. David Schildknecht.

Zwischen Den Seen TBA #5 Scheurebe (375 ML)

Lightly Bin-Soiled Label

$55

WA 96 (10/2003): The massive, full-bodied 2000 #5 Scheurebe Trockenbeerenauslese Zwischen den Seen (11.5% alcohol, 212.8 grams residual sugar/liter, and 6.5 grams/liter total acidity) bursts from the glass with peppery yellow fruit, spicy, and botrytis aromas. Armed with the density and depth of 10W40 motor oil, it is a syrupy, jammy, viscous effort. Loads of jammy apricots, cherries, and peaches can be discerned in its spice-laden personality. Projected maturity: now-2030.

2004

Zwischen Den Seen TBA #7 Welschriesling (375 ML)

Lightly Bin-Soiled Label

$65

VM 96 (11/2006): Deep golden yellow. Juicy stone fruits, honey, tobacco and a piquant hint of grapefruit on the nose. Powerful but juicy palate-coating flavors of apricot, hazelnut paste, white pepper, white tea and marshmallow. This opulent wine should go on for decades. Drink from 2010 to 2040. Peter Moser.
