An astounding wine, the 2007 Zind Humbrecht Clos Hauserer Riesling opens with a tightly wound bouquet of petrol, gardenias and lemon skin while the dry palate is packed with dense dried fruit and pear flavor. Long, long gardenia-scented finish. Despite all the concentration, it’s quite light on its feet and would pair well with Japanese cuisine. Can be drunk now (decanting recommended) but will show its best after five-plus years in the cellar. ——J.R.(10/1/2010)—— 95
