2022 Zind-Humbrecht Clos Windsbuhl Riesling Alsace
97
James Suckling
Review Date: 07/2024At once powerful and crystalline, this densely structured dry riesling is made for the long term. Extremely lemony and salty on the medium- to full-bodied palate, then so compact at the very long, driving finish, which is as pointed as a rapier. The last riesling harvested in this vintage, but with the lowest alcohol and the highest acidity. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

Notes
96pts Ian d'Agata Wine Review: "OK folks, fantastic stuff here. Pale straw green with some gold. Candied pear, apple sauce and cinnamon are complicated by a perfumed white flower note. Beautifully saline and with penetrating lemony cut on the long vibrant finish (there’s 5 g/L r.s here, but you really can’t tell). As unbelievable as this may sound, Olivier Humbrecht told me that this has higher acidity than many Riesling wines which is normal for the Windsbuhl but not for Pinot Gris. There’s something about the Windsbuhl and Pinot gris that just works magic. Drinking window: 2027-2038." (11/2024)
