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. The five dry Riesling offerings are all remarkable wines. The lightest is the 1991 Riesling Turckheim. It offers a complex, apple, lemon, gunflint-like nose, lovely ripe, light-bodied flavors, and a dry, exceptionally well-delineated finish. It is a gorgeous Riesling for drinking over the next 3-5 years. 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.
