March 14, 2024 - Beautiful, intense and complex nose. Petroleum, zippy lemon, green apples, some lime and melon/yellow stone fruit.
Similar complex fruitiness along with a nice minerality of stone along with touch of honey on finish. Real depth and concentration of fruit.
This is doubtlessly still very young; I can see what people say when they say that in its youth there isn't a huge difference between Trimbach's CFE and CSH, but I am pleased to say that this still had the edge in terms of concentration and complexity. Would love to revisit this in a couple of decades!

March 7, 2024 - Torsdagsklubben: Fransk boksmat: Intens og med stor kompleksitet i finish, aldeles flott balansert og lang. Epler og hvite blomster. Blant mine bedre tørre rieslinger, hadde faktisk noe likhet med vekt og profil i La Borne.

January 12, 2024 - Opened at Caprice in HK for the Jean Trimbach x Egon Muller Celebration Dinner by the winemakers themselves. Slow-oxed since 3pm and poured at around 9:30.
Served from Jerobam! The class of Clos Ste. Hune really showed here - absolutely gorgeous dry Riesling and probably the best I've had outside of Keller's GGs. Fresh, crisp, floral, fruity and petrol with beautiful balance, precise acidity and a long finish. Great juice.
Unfortunately my experience with Clos Ste Hune to date has been mixed - some bottles turn out to be more oxidised than they should. But this was absolutely spot on. Can be enjoyed now but CSH can age well - will be interesting to see how this develops.1 person found this helpful Comment -

April 5, 2023 - This was very enjoyable at this stage but really not the standout wine I had expected. Needs more cellaring for sure.
