Description

2008 Riesling, Brand, Grand Cru, Domaine Zind-Humbrecht, AlsaceThis wine is made from the same piece of vineyard that produces their Vielles Vignes Brand 2007. However, they didn't want to call them VV in 2008 because it is a much drier style of wine. These vines are located on the Schneckeslbourg part of the Brand, the one that has some marl and limestone deep under the granite rock. Due to the prevalence of noble rot in this site, there are 10 grams of residual sugar but it's balanced by tartaric acid expressed

mature notes of fruit and malt are augmented by a lively crispness from the grain

fat and huge

Clerc Milon is a fresher

though this bottle has even more intensity than the one served at the estate in 2018

Mojitos all round

leather and game

glorious depth and resounding flavours

This spirit offers an intriguingly restrained nose

cherry and rose

interesting nose

This is drinking nicely now

spice and nutty elements
