This is like staring into a deep chasm of dried stone fruit and candied citrus all dusted with chalk. Incredibly concentrated and deeply structured, this reminds me of Clos Ste Hune, but with a cooler personality and a sleeker silhouette. Then comes the fabulously elegant, smoky and chalky finish that just doesn’t want to stop. And a l this at just under 12.5% alcohol. Steinlinden is the name of the parcel where this grows.
