I tasted seven 1995 Rieslings from ZH, five of them dry, and two entitled to the Vendange Tardive (late harvest) designation. The 1995 Riesling Rangen Clos St.-Urbain (made from 18 hectoliters per hectare) does not possess the weight or volume offered by the Clos Windsbuhl. Nevertheless, it is an impressive, unevolved, tightly-knit Riesling that is still in its infancy. According to Olivier Humbrecht, it took ten months for this wine to ferment. The intriguing nose of roasted nuts, ginger, and spice hints at an exotic future. Rich and medium-bodied, with high acidity, and a spicy, earthy personality, this wine needs 1-3 years of cellaring; it should keep for 10-15+ years.The Zind-Humbrecht 1995s possess approximately 10% higher acidity than the crisp, high acid 1994s, largely because September was a very cool month. There was no need to chaptalize any of the ZH wines, and extremely long fermentations resulted in high alcohol.The reviews in this segment are from a memorable tasting held in April, 1997.Importers: Wine Markets International, Woodbury, NY; tel.
