Domaine Zind-Humbrecht 2001 Grand Cru Clos Saint-Urbain Rangen de ThannSéléction des Grains Nobles Pinot Gris (Alsace)
The ultimate in SGN wines, because it not only has richness, sweetness, and botrytis, but it also offers acidity, balance and total seduction. There are flavors of peaches and mirabelles, but they are really all submerged in the amazing elegance of a wine that will age indefinitely. — R.V. (4/1/2005) — 97 -

Domaine Marcel Deiss 2000 Huebuhl Alsace white blend (Alsace)
A wine packed with noble rot, giving richness rather than sweetness. An intoxicating blend of smokiness and almonds mixes with flavors of citrus zest and toast in this complex, concentrated wine. From the tiny Huebuhl vineyard in Bergheim. Impressive. Imported by Lauber Imports. — R.V. (4/1/2005) — 96 -

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht 2002 Grand Cru Clos Saint-Urbain Rangen de Thann Pinot Gris (Alsace)
This is a wonderful wine, which comes from the vineyard in the south of Alsace that the Humbrechts brought back from obscurity. It has both intensity and also great elegance. It has flavors of currants, layers of orange zest and some fresh acidity. But it also has spice which lies gently with the fruit flavors. The taste just goes on forever. — R.V. (4/1/2005) — 96 -

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht 2002 Grand Cru Heimbourg Turckheim Vendange Tardive Gewürztraminer (Alsace)
It may be vendange tardive, but the sweetness is the least of this wine’s qualities. It is more to do with how it relates to the terroir of the Heimbourg vineyard, with its mineral character, and its fine structure and texture. The fruit is still young, and would benefit from 5–10 years aging. — R.V. (4/1/2005) — 96 -

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht 2001 Clos Jebsal Séléction des Grains Nobles Pinot Gris (Alsace)
Smoky aromas followed by the explosion of sweet fruits, with flavors of ripe oranges, of wild flower honey and acidity. This is gorgeous now, but its sweetness should be tamed with aging. A fantastic wine. — R.V. (4/1/2005) — 96
