Zind Humbrecht Riesling Rangen de Thann Clos St Urbain GC 2015 (750ML)

94-96 WA / 95 WS / 95 JS / 94 VM

The 2015 Riesling Rangen de Thann Clos Saint Urbain opens pure, deep and cool; it is very fresh and stony, as if a giant had crushed lava! On the palate this is a silky textured, yet firmly structured wine that shows fine tannins rather than acidity. The latter plays the first fiddle only in the finish, which is salty, pure and finessed, provided with great tension and an endless flow of wet stones. It is, perhaps, less dramatic than the Brand, but even more balanced and elegant at this early moment. So pure and vital! Stephan Reinhardt – The Wine Advocate

A dense and creamy Riesling, medium- to full-bodied and tightly meshed. Rich and smoky, with an exotic overtone of Indian spices and jasmine accenting the ripe green melon, grapefruit sorbet and nectarine flavors. Well-defined and lingering on the dry, zesty finish. Drink now through 2035 - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator

This is a really fresh and dynamic white with sliced pear and lemon rind character and minerals. Full and flavorful with lots of crisp acidity and fruit intensity. Great density. From biodynamic grapes. Drink now. James Suckling

Pale yellow. Cool aromas of green apple, lychee, chlorophyll, powdered rocks and crystallized ginger, lifted by a whiff of orange peel. Dense and quite dry, displaying superb precision to the stone and spice flavors, which are complemented by a suggestion of chewy tropical fruits. Classic Riesling that finishes long and with superb cut and focus. Made from roughly 50-year-old vines. Ian D’Agata – Vinous Media
