Zind-Humbrecht Riesling Rangen de Thann Clos St. Urbain 2016

Luminous golden-yellow. Complex aromas of lemon verbena, crystallized apricot, mirabelle and minerals on the captivating nose. Rich and ripe, displaying a spicy touch to the orange marmalade and mineral flavors, lifted by vibrant acidity and floral nuances on the long, savory finish.

For many experts, this is the greatest dry Pinot Gris wine in the world; the 2016 is its usual “monster of complexity” self, but readers should note that this tastes off-dry rather than classically dry. Ian D'Agata
