As extraordinary as the 1989 and 1990 Zind-Humbrecht wines are, these 1991s, largely because of the difficulties presented by the vintage, are even more amazing. Readers must keep in mind that for the top Alsatian producers the situation is much like that in Burgundy - only tiny quantities of wine available. Between 50 and 150 cases of each wine is the entire allocation for the American market. I hope readers have begun to discover the extraordinary dry Muscats of Alsace. They are unlike any other wines in the world. The 1991 Muscat Goldert is made from 50-60 year old vines. Backward, with considerable finesse and elegance, the wine is tight and dry, and in need of at least 2-3 years of cellaring. It is far less flattering than Zind-Humbrecht's regular cuvee. I do not ever remember a producer in a so-so year making such magnificent wines! Bravo to Olivier and Leonard Humbrecht! Zind-Humbrecht wines are imported by Wine Markets International, Syosset, NY and Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA.
