Smoky, minerally nose, lovely depth, hint of petrol, subtle fruit and floral aromas, quite a Germanic style; on the palate layered and fine-boned, all about elegance and finesse, relatively light weight, ripe acidity, not the ultimate cut, on the soft side even for a Clos Ste Hune; very good length. Fully mature, drink up. Far more developed than expected, bottle variation?
14% ABV. Wonderfully deep and fragrant, even explosive, Pinot Noir, fresh and autumnal, crushed red fruit, rosehip and red meat, slate and spice, flowers and smoke; on the palate transparent and precise, elegant, silky, medium weight, very harmonious, linear, refreshing, so seamless and beguiling; very good length, just a hint of heat? Reminds me of Meyer-Näkel "S" 2005.
