Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Gris Turckheim Clos Jebsal Vendange Tardive 2012

96 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2012 Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal Vendange Tardive is magnificent. Rich, layered and also light on its feet, the 2012 is a magical wine. The flavors are deep and yet the wine remains so gracious, so classy. Orange confit, mint, honey and dried flowers all open up in the glass. The balance of flavor intensity and elegance is off the charts. In 2012, the VT also includes a portion of juice that was initially harvested for a SGN bottling. Olivier Humbrecht decided the two wines were not materially different, so the SGN juice ended up here. The 2012 is a truly special wine. Drink: 2022-2037. (Sep 2020)"

93+ points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "From 29-year-old vines on deep, rich, marl gypsum soils, the golden colored 2012 Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal Vendange Tardive offers a noble botrytis aroma with mint and orange flavors, along with sweet stone fruit aromas and a touch of honey. Full-bodied, rich and highly elegant on the palate, this cru from a very steep 1.3 ha vineyard reveals a great power, intensity and persistent minerality that masks the 15% alcohol of this expressive wine. I would keep it for another five to 20 years and serve it with foie gras. Drink: 2020-2035. (Oct 2015)"

93 points Wine Spectator: "[$120 list] Rich and fleshy, this layers finely tuned acidity with a waxy base note and flavors of glazed apricot, candied kumquat, orange blossom, biscuit and candied almond. Features a lasting finish of smoke and candied fruit. Drink now through 2029. 350 cases made, 25 cases imported. (11/15/14)"
