"Over the hill"

2004 vintage

Golden. Nose has apple, apple pie, petrol nose. Medium+ body, offdry. Delicious of apples, cinnamon, bees wax, long with fresh acidity. This wine manages to be satisfyingly rich and energetic, too. So good!

golden. Apple candy, flowers, a little diesel in the nose. Off dry, broadly fruity of honey, apricot and melon, well concentrated. The body and depth of flavours make the 14% well integrated. In a lovely spot right now.

Golden colored. Prominent petrol nose. Well balanced, with ripe apricot and peach flavors layered on a slightly honeyed finish. Dry, but enough residual sugar to pair well with a medium spiced Thai dinner. The acidity is hanging on by a thread, and there is just a whiff of an oxidized note that would signal that this wine is probably past peak.

Classic Riesling when it is best. Golden color. Everything very nice integrated especially nice integrated acid. Nose of peach, apricot, orange, mango, fresh excotic minerals. Long finish. Had it with Lumpfish Roe ... Super nice combination. Ready drink. Enjoy OT

mediun yellow. Baked apples, apricot, hint of diesel. A little resid. sugar, rich flavours of carmelized apples but in a package that leaves the mouth lightly. Very delicious

2004 vintage

No obvious seepage but lots of difficulty extracting cork. Deep yellow, oxidized flavors.

2004 vintage

Med. yellow. fragrant, passionfruit, baked apple and touch of petroleum. Flavours of lemon peel, passionfruit and richness in the mouth. A touch of sugar and enough acid. Very delicious

2004 vintage

had for Thanksgiving. Very nice acidity, citrus.

cork had dried out and the wine was slightly oxidised. Underneath it lots of subtance though - hope my other bottle is fine as this seems a great wine.

This wine was fridge- cold when we opened and poured, so very tight but refreshing. As the last glass warmed to maybe 16 degrees C, a nose of pears and roses. Sweetness that can be felt more that tasted, a medium body. Really sturdy, clean and lovely. Enough acid to last and improve for a few more years.

Hated to drink this one so soon, sure it would age well but it was chilled and I needed a white wine for dinner. Drank over 3 nights and was outstanding. Honey colored in the glass. Fresh nose of minerals and flowers. Lush, thick mouthfeel with an explosion of tropical fruit, with a long finish...these quality Alsacian whites are probably my favorite white wine.

This is starting to evolve into a classic ZH. The nose has developed into a complex array of crushed rocks, hints of diesel, dried apricots, and slightly floral. Extremely rich and viscous up front, yet maintaining great acidity throughout. Glycerol, red apple, and dried stonefruit makeup the palate. I would imagine this thing as quite a long life ahead of itself.

2004 vintage

Very nice lemony-honey riesling nose. Seems sweet up front but then very crisp lemony acidity kicks in and gives way to a fairly pronounced grapefruity bitterness, with some heat in the finish. Very nice, the bitterness makes me feel like I am drinking a Campari-based aperitif! Really dry.

2004 vintage

Specialty Trade Show : Nice flavors of lemon and lime with a rich mouthfeel. A touch of sweetness. Good.

2004 vintage

Specialty Imports Tradeshow (Hotel Captain Cook) : Nose is loaded with clean minerality, wet stone, and apricot preserves. The palate was a bit unsual, but I enjoyed. A bit of chalk and white pepper were unexpected. Very rich and viscous with dried apricot, peach, and lanolin. Very unique, as most ZH wines are.

2004 vintage

Not a huge nose, but decent aromas of lemon, apple, grapefruit, and rubber bands. Not particularly concentrated or complex, but lively, fresh, zesty and dry on the palate with flavors of lemons and apples. A bit delineated, and thin, but not bad at all. Noticeably acidic, and could possibly get better with a few years of cellaring. 89+

Saturday at Doug's (NY) : oh well.. i surely underrated this at the tasting. It was very closed a few months ago but now - a nutty, sweet grapefruit, mineral on the nose, very "riesling" nose, sweet attack at first - mostly pears, mineral and chalk in the middle and then a lovely long dry finish. touch of warmth on the finish but not unpleasant (this has 14% alc!) excellent wine that will probably improve significantly

2004 vintage

Light lemon, complex nose of sesame oil, ripe apple, spice, touch of grapefruit and minerality. On the palate it is quite full bodied (14% abv.) and dry with good acidity. Excellent.

Martin Scott Wines (Fall 06); 9/11/2006-9/13/2006 (Lincoln Center) : nice rich wine, broad shouldered but with good balance. pear and apple with a streak of minerality. wish it was a bit more complex.

2004 vintage

Martin Scott Wines Portfolio Event (New York City) : Light lemon color. Bright nose of spice, apricot, pear; real complexity and depth as well. Dry with great balance and a long finish. Delicious.

2004 vintage

A day at Zind Humbrecht (Turckheim, Alsace, France) : Light yellow in color, this showed more fruitiness than the Gueberschwihr but still had some minerality as well. Dena, Steve and Barb seemed more pleased with this wine than I was, but I found a little heat on the finish that I found distracting and thought it simpler than the previous wine. Yes, I try to be a tough critic even with the wines of my friend who I consider the …
