The aromas of the wine seemed oxidized, that is strange for such a young Riesling. So I asked the guy pouring us the samples about it and he told me that it is supposed to be like that. I am still not so sure about it, but I have to take his word for it.
The aromas are muted and muddled, overall lacking precision. Underneath is a lean and dry wine that is more on the mineral side. Could be nice, but not like this.
I would not recommend this wine.

Für's erste weiß ich auch genug, wie ich zukünftig einkaufen würde, wenn es nötig wäre, was es derzeit auch kaum ist, aber alles ist möglich. Für dieses Jahr warte jedoch eher nicht drauf. Es gibt ja immerhin auch meine Einzeleinschätzungen, neue Flaschen öffne ich allerdings wohl erst wieder ab Ostersonntag. Schöne Grüße !

2021 Zind-Humbrecht Riesling Rangen de Thann Clos St. Urbain

Tasted a small sip of this and loved it.
Flinty with lemon zest and bright acidity.
Fresh and stony character.
At this age it showed some depth and complexity, but it must be aged.
QPR meh.

Quick tasting at the winery.
My favorite Riesling of the line-up.
Straight and clear-cut, nice interplay of acidity and minerality.
Bought some!
