I tasted seven 1995 Rieslings from ZH, five of them dry, and two entitled to the Vendange Tardive (late harvest) designation. The two Vendange Tardive Rieslings were both medium sweet, and thus more open knit and approachable. The 1995 Riesling Brand V.T. (13% residual sugar and a whopping 12.5% total acidity) is a medium sweet, orange and tangerine-scented and flavored, spicy, full-bodied, highly-extracted wine with superb richness, mouthsearing acidity, and a backward, unevolved, potentially profound style. This wine should be cellared for 1-3 years, and drunk over the following two decades.The Zind-Humbrecht 1995s possess approximately 10% higher acidity than the crisp, high acid 1994s, largely because September was a very cool month. There was no need to chaptalize any of the ZH wines, and extremely long fermentations resulted in high alcohol.The reviews in this segment are from a memorable tasting held in April, 1997.Importers: Wine Markets International, Woodbury, NY; tel.
