1994 Domaine Zind Humbrecht, Tokay Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal Selection de Grains Nobles Trie Speciale 1x750ml

Robert Parker 99

The unreleased 1994 Tokay-Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal (Selection de Grains Nobles) Trie Speciale is the sweetest and densest wine Olivier Humbrecht has ever fashioned. It has 540 grams of residual sugar per liter and 12 grams of acid. As Humbrecht noted, "it makes no noise when poured into a glass, it is completely silent!" He has not yet presented it for certification as an SGN, which is why that moniker is in parentheses. Needless to say, this puree of fruit-flavored syrup sets new standards in power, concentration, and length. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 524-1524.
