Two great bottles from Domaine Zind Humbrecht. 2000 Gewrztraminer Rangen de Thann Clos St. Urbain Vendange Tardive, Alsace, France is a Robert Parker rated 98 points. Has the potential to merit a perfect score when its youthfully unevolved personality blossoms. This concentrated monster displays an unreal depth of fruit, huge levels of extract, and prodigious balance. Cherries, raspberries, currants, papayas, mangoes, and jammy apricots are interspersed with spices in this massively complex wine's flavor profile. Full-bodied, oily-textured, and potent, it is Gewurztraminer essence.

2000 Tokay Pinot Gris Herrenweg de Turckheim Vendanges Tardive, Alsace France is a Robert Parker rated 93 points.  Offers intense aromas of smoky apricots. Loads of botrytis can be found in this fresh, medium to full-bodied wine's personality. Oily-textured, it reveals a lively acid streak that lightens the load of its considerable residual sugar.
