98 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "The ultimate mineral dry riesling? Incredibly smoky and salty, with stacks of Amalfi lemon freshness. Breathtaking vitality and flinty minerality on the incredibly focused, medium-bodied palate. Samurai-sword finish that is hyper-straight and clean. Great potential. From biodynamically grown grapes with Biodyvin certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. Tasted at the Zind-Humbrecht Grand Cru Rangen vertical in November 2023. (11/27/23)"

96 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The 2021 Riesling Rangen de Thann Clos Saint Urbain Grand Cru is from the famously steep and dark volcanic rock of Rangen with some sandstone inclusions. The soil is rich in potassium which buffers the pH of the wine, making the acid less strident yet lending much power to the wines. The oldest plots of Riesling are up to 60 years old; the younger vines are 45 years old. The color is golden. Underneath the reduction is a spicy smokiness, with greengage and white pepper. There is something utterly fluid, intense, compact and concentrated that seems to have a total verticality, driving into the depth of the rock. The wine has luminous citric yet balanced freshness and is clear as a bell. Wait for this because it will be sensational. The finish is bone-dry and salty. (Bone-dry) Drink: 2027-2080. (Apr 2023)"
