97 - 98 poena - Stephen Tanzer

Vinograd Clos Jebsal smatra se jednim od velikih terroira Alzasa za Pinot Gris, dajući vina izuzetne punoće, intenziteta i dugovječnosti. U najboljim berbama, Domaine Zind-Humbrecht proizvodi veoma male količine vina Sélection de Grains Nobles od pojedinačno biranih bobica zahvaćenih plemenitom plijesni, stvarajući neka od najdubljih i najkompleksnijih slatkih vina Francuske.

Pinot Gris “Clos Jebsal” Sélection de Grains Nobles “Trie Spéciale” 2006 izuzetno je koncentrisano i kompleksno vino. Na nosu se otvaraju slojevi kandirane kajsije, paste od dunje, sušenog manga, bagremovog meda, karamelizovanih citrusa, šafrana i egzotičnih začina, uz suptilne dimne i zemljane tonove karakteristične za plemenitu plijesan. Na nepcu je vino raskošno i gotovo baršunasto, ali uravnoteženo živahnom kisjelinom i izraženom mineralnošću. Ukusi tropskog voća, marmelade, prženih orašastih plodova i začina postepeno se razvijaju prema izuzetno dugom i snažnom završetku.

97 - 98 points - Stephen Tanzer

The Clos Jebsal vineyard is one of Alsace’s great terroirs for Pinot Gris, producing wines of extraordinary richness, intensity, and longevity. In exceptional vintages, Domaine Zind-Humbrecht crafts tiny quantities of Sélection de Grains Nobles from individually selected botrytized berries, creating some of the most profound sweet wines in France.

The 2006 Pinot Gris “Clos Jebsal” Sélection de Grains Nobles “Trie Spéciale” is remarkably concentrated and complex. The nose reveals layers of candied apricot, quince paste, dried mango, acacia honey, caramelized citrus, saffron, and exotic spice, with subtle smoky and earthy undertones characteristic of noble rot. On the palate, the wine is immensely rich and unctuous, yet balanced by vibrant acidity and pronounced minerality. Flavours of tropical fruit, marmalade, roasted nuts, and spice unfold gradually into an extraordinarily long, powerful finish.
