Domaine Trimbach Clos Ste-Hune 1992 versus
Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Tokay Pinot Gris Clos Windsbuhl 1992: Again a surprise, as the expected winner was the hands-down loser. Not that I underestimate Clos Ste Hune any day, but was expecting much of the Zind. Well, not. It was dead. Normally it should still be showing something, but there was no structure, no integration. Again a single bottle I had acquired years ago, so I don't know what it was like before. The Clos Ste Hune was a real gem: super focused dry Riesling. One of the guests said it was like a delicate little gem. Really vibrant, beautiful mineral (yes, kerosene!) nose, great length. And this is a weaker year for Riesling in Alsace...
