Community Tasting Note

Friday, May 7, 2021 - Belated Birthday Dinner (Nicolas Restaurant, Teck Lim Street, Singapore): Absolutely lovely - this was everything I like in a Clos St Hune. The nose was a study in power and reserve, with deep notes of earthy mineral laced through a core of green apples and pears, with just a touch of spice and kerosene on the sides. It was on the palate where this really shone though - powerful, intense, yet noble and understated at the same time. This unfolded across the palate with effortlessly deep, powerful notes of red apples and green pears, lemons and lime zest, these punctuated with a beautiful stony minerality that pulled the wine into a wonderfully long, almost briny finish. Purity and power I thought. A tremendous wine, drinking well now, especially with food, but with its future way ahead of it yet. This will aged effortless over the next decade and beyond.

I believe a lot of people who tasted this early on got it completely wrong since this is a lighter Clos Ste. Hune that was reticent and/or closed for quite some time. Only over the past few years has it begun to shine, not at all an unusual evolutionary path for this cuvée. Like you, I think it is poised for a long, glorious run.
