This stands out from the moment you bring the glass up to your nose thanks to the profound earthiness that comes from the Grand Cru Hengst site. With aeration aromas of orange zest and bitter chocolate develop. Imposing stature thanks to the monumental tannin structure and full body, but it is also juicy and sensual. Huge rooty, moderately dry finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. - Stuart Pigott
