Tasted ahead of its official release, the 2010 Riesling Clos Ste. Hune is wild, powerful and unrestrained, with a real sense of mineral and phenolic intensity. Smoke, slate, orchard fruit and white flowers are all incredibly vivid in a spherical, concentrated Riesling that will drink well for many decades to come…. the potential is evident… Quite simply, this is a magnificent, regal edition of Clos Ste. Hune. I won’t be at all surprised if the 2010 one day merits a three digit score. Pierre Trimbach describes 2010 as a year with small yields and high malic acidity. The 2010 is an epic wine in the making. – A.G.
