A chance to drink a 30-plus-year-old old-vine Alsace Pinot Gris from the region's benchmark estate, under the historic "Tokay" name that EU rules retired from the label around 2007. Zind-Humbrecht is the Alsace reference point, farmed biodynamically by Olivier Humbrecht, France's first Master of Wine. The "Vieilles Vignes" comes from old vines, and at this ripeness level Z-H Pinot Gris at this ripeness was typically dry to off-dry and richly ripe, the kind of wine that turns honeyed and savory with age rather than merely fading. This 1991, a back-vintage bottle from a private cellar, has had more than three decades to evolve, trading youthful flamboyance for honeyed, mushroomy, deeply developed complexity. Mature Alsace like this is rare and doesn't wait around, so treat it as a here-and-now pleasure.

Robert Parker

90 points

"The 1991 Tokay Vieilles Vignes exhibits powerful scents of butter and ripe fruit, as well as staggeringly rich, concentrated flavors buttressed by crisp acidity. This powerhouse is less open than either the 1989 or 1990, but it may prove to be even more concentrated and longer-lived. It is an amazing wine!" —Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Seared foie gras, roast pork with apples, aged Comté, or a mushroom tart.

Tasting Profile

Honey, dried apricot, quince, ginger and savory mushroom-and-nut notes from age. Full-bodied and rich, off-dry, with acidity still holding it together. Long, developed, savory finish.
