Tasting Notes

The 2004 Riesling Clos Ste-Hune smells deliciously, mysteriously and complexly of grapefruit, blood orange, sassafras, mirabelle distillate, licorice, truffle, musk, lily, and chalk. Creamy and much richer on the palate than its Frederic Emile counterpart, it displays no less sheer density, stony minerality, or penetration. The finish here is truly palate staining, and as multi-faceted as the aromas. It would probably be a shame to uncork a bottle (especially given the aftermarket prices I have been seeing on these wines!) for at least a couple of more years after it is released in 2009.

Very clear, deep, intense and slightly smoky on the nose, the 2004 Riesling Clos Ste Hune reveals a great purity, intensity and freshness. Full-bodied, intense, and concentrated with partly overripe Riesling berry aromas, this wine has a great juiciness and intense fruity taste. More flesh and meat than the 2007 with great intensity and length; it is a great wine with a huge aging potential. With 11 years, this wine is still extremely young and quite powerful.
