ZIND-HUMBRECHT - Riesling Clos Windsbuhl - 2013

ZIND-HUMBRECHT

Riesling Clos Windsbuhl 2013

- 95 points -

Vivid straw-green. Extremely deep, complex aromas of green apple, green papaya, gooseberry, jasmine and lemon verbena, with a bright mineral overlay. Fresh and juicy in the mouth, offering captivating, multilayered flavors of fresh citrus fruits, minerals and mint. Finishes with lemony acidity and a saline, almost oystery nuance (not surprising given the Muschelkalk calcaire soil, which is rich in fossils). This very reserved but absolutely beautiful Clos Windsbuhl will repay cellaring. Completely different from the 2012 Clos Windsbuhl, which was held much longer in cask.
