May 5, 2023 - Cork - excellent condition. Dark golden straw colour. Served chilled, drink over 1.5hrs. Amazing nose, so much depth. Apricots, stonefruit florals. Could be mistaken for Sauternes. Complete absence of any kerosene characters. Deceivingly dry - maybe 1.5-2g/L residual sugar which defies the nose. Definitely drinking well. Unbelievable how gracefully the Clos St Hune ages.

April 23, 2021 - Dark golden color, turning to amber. Fern on the nose, very mineral, pebbles on the ocean front, tart apples; an attractive and complex medley.
On the palate the fyrn impression continues, plus some extract-sweetness Good weight on palate, not hollow in the middle. Quite complete and well balanced.
While there is fyrn, the wine has kept remarkably fresh and complete for its age. Almost a "vino da meditazione". This was my last bottle...
Went well with the crab cake..1 person found this helpful Comment -

August 10, 2019 - Old golden color; on the nose some fyrn; touch of bee's wax in the way of an old school Rioja; nicely balanced.
On the palate the wine shows more acidity, but still within tolerable limits. Nose is better, more complex and refined and more balanced.
Wine needs drinking up.1 person found this helpful Comment -

March 18, 2017 - Clos Ste Hune vertical 83-09 with Anne Trimbach. Historic vineyard of only 1,67 ha in the village of Hunawihr in central Alsace. Limestone soil, cool southeast position with morning sun.
"FROST", year of the big frost. Very small production.
Hints of mouldy stuff on the nose. -

February 3, 2016 - What a difference from my last bottle. Simply glorious, hitting on all cylinders. Gorgeous golden hue, brilliant acidity and citrus fruit.
