98 points James Suckling: "The most powerful and deepest pinot gris of this vintage from Zind Humbrecht with a ton of smoke, creme-brulee and mushroom character. In spite of the almost 15% alcoholic content, it is properly dry and has a wonderful liveliness at the finish. Drink or hold. Made from biodynamically grown grapes. (5/28/18)"
96 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Wine Enthusiast): "[$120 list] A touch of flinty reduction plays on the nose. The palate then presents bright citrus zest with wonderfully bitter citrus pith as well as a salty intensity that is reminiscent of preserved lemon. All this is couched in ripe expressive pear fruit on a concentrated but sinuous body that seems to have inherent drive. It is the pith and the zest that make this. The finish is dry and lasting. Drink 2025–2030. Alcohol 14.5%. (Nov 2018)"
