Thursday, April 19, 2018 - Spring Swing Through France-Random Wines Tasted or Imbibed; 4/14/2018-4/25/2018 (Burgundy, Alsace, Paris): Deep yellow. Utterly complex aromas even for Clos Ste. Hune-peach, honeysuckle and black tea. Not much petrol. Medium weight, but as I said 5 years ago, the glycerine sap gives the misleading sense of sweetness. Fantastically fresh fruit, outstanding acidity and soil, and great cling for a long finish. This wine is now glorious and in full bloom, at least from this perfect Alsatian cellar. I underestimated it early, but it has developed magnificently. It also didn't hurt to be be drinking it on a beautiful terrace on a freakishly warm spring day.
