Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, June 25, 2013 - When I tasted this 5 years ago, I wondered if this was a Clos Ste. Hune that was susceptible to oxidation. Well, it has continued to hang in and improve. Deep yellow color. Typical dried peach, petrol, and yes, a bit of nuttiness to it, but nowhere near a sherried character. Big and very dense in the mouth, this bore an uncanny resemblance to many Austrian Smaragds. Deep and long, average acidity (well, I suppose below average for this great cuvee). So, in toto, excellent, holding well, probably at peak, not the finest year for this wine, and my advice is to move these up the queue for drinking over the next few years.
