2021 Zind Humbrecht Gewurz Clos St-Urbain

Slight flickers of peach appear on the nose of the 2021 Gewurztraminer Rangen de Thann Clos Saint Urbain Grand Cru and almost have a creamy aspect, with tingling grapefruit spice and honeysuckle overtones. It is seductive because nothing is heady, beckoning and beguiling simultaneously. The palate is rich, almost creamy and concentrated, yet gentle. The acidity is buffered, juicy and lemony but tingles with ginger spiciness. This is Gewurztraminer, but not as you know it. Totally different, but boy, oh boy. What an experience. Very long.
