Zind-humbrecht - Riesling Rangen De Thann Clos St. Urbain 2022 (750ml)

97 Points Vinous

“The 2022 Riesling Rangen de Thann Clos Saint Urbain Grand Cru was harvested among the last Rieslings but had one of the lowest alcohols, with 12.8 %. A lovely sharp, green aromatic flavor, almost of watercress intensity, fresh, green and vigorous without being unripe, sets an initial aromatic highlight. The famed smokiness arrives on the second sniff, followed by gloriously aromatic tangerine. The palate is exquisitely precise, stony, taut and naked, but oh so nuanced with immense citrus brightness. This is a marvel glimmering with zestiness, citrus and such stony directness. (Bone-Dry) ”

95 Points Wine Spectator

“Intensely savory and concentrated, with a salty, leesy character to notes of green melon and roasted agave. Hints of warm baking spices and honey add warmth to the ripe core, but this is mostly about mineral-driven power and saline depth. Chalky stone layers draw out the finish, which shows a firm structure and is still unwinding. Drink now through 2038.”
