Domaine Zind-Humbrecht Riesling Brand, Alsace Grand Cru, France 2022 Bordeaux Superieur combining sweeter mocha and earthThe 2022 Riesling Brand Grand Cru is from a granite site. The nose crackles with citrus zest. The palate is so clear, juicy and brilliant. This comes together with luminosity, lightness and ease. Grapefruit zest appears on the finish, revealing more of its aromatic layers. Concentration, tingling freshness, zesty phenolics and a distinct light footedness make this supremely balanced and juicy. 96 Pts Vinous
