PnP. Color is light straw. On the nose: Lemon, orange zest, tropical fruits and petrol. On the palate: Honeysuckle, dirty honey, white florals, orange zest, apricot, beeswax and lots of salinity. This is a grown up wine and very nice.

First time on Hugel and this impresses. Some have commented on it being a bit broad and flabby but I see a tension in this that’s alluring. There’s enough acid here to give it good length. And no doubt plenty of years development ahead of it too. Very enjoyable now but I’ll hold out on the next bottle another 4-5 years.

May still need time but heavy sugars. And less fill fruit that expected.

Drinking well but with a future ahead of it. Tense, balanced, with bruised lemon, bright minerals and a long finish.
