Robert Parker (94)

The Zind-Humbrecht 2007 Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal Selection de Grains Nobles – at 9.5% alcohol – is not one of those nectars (two of which were also produced at this estate in 2007) that barely legally became wine. In some respects, though, it is Eszcencia-like. Both its enormous residual sugar and the highest acidity of the vintage are less noticeable on the palate than on paper, and it is nearly weightless as well as viscous in feel. Marzipan, apricot preserves, and honey – tinged with mint and cinnamon – are the principle players on a stage that for now is as remarkable as its cast of characters. The levitational purity here is extraordinary, but it will need years for this to evolve, and one should think in terms of three or more decades’ lifespan.

Winespectator (98)

An SGN with a lot of color—deep amber—and a multitude of flavor, delivering layers of ripe yellow peach, mango, crystallized honey and candied citrus peel, with hints of vanilla, iodine, espresso and bourbon. Rich and round, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture, but superbly balanced by intense, mouthwatering acidity. The extremely long finish shows a briny mineral note that's a fine counterpoint to the wine's ripe, honeyed fruit character.
