Riesling Grand Cru Brand, Domaine Zind-Humbrecht
Description
The nose shows beautiful ripe Riesling: a combination of mineral/rock driven aromas and ripe white fruits. Powerful expression of Brand, but contained and strict. Like most of wine, the long fermentation and lees contact also leaves a slight reduction at this early stage. It clearly will benefit from time and aeration. The palate is impressively long and intense, not to be expected as the nose still refrains its potential. There is a strong sense of minerality, just as if the granite sands had been crushed into the wine. Long finish and very high ageing potential. This is a beautiful Brand!
