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 1991 Riesling Herrenweg-Turckheim exhibits a taut, mineral, fragrant nose, serious richness, and that wonderful interplay of Riesling flavors, such as apples, citrus, and stones. There is excellent richness, medium body, and a long, dry finish. It should drink well for at least 4-6 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.
