Alsace Grand Cru Hengst Riesling 2018

Riesling from the Hengst grand cru in Wintzenheim, about 5 miles west of Colmar. Biodynamically farmed vineyards. Lean, precise, elegant with citrus, flowers and hints of rubber on the nose. On the palate there is some grapefruit. Powerful, dry, mineral. Nice saline aftertaste. — 4 years ago

Hengst Vendange Tardive Alsace Grand Cru Gewürztraminer 2011

Wowee... I was mesmerized by the purity and the cleanliness of the fruit in this wine... Extremely well balanced and bright. Perfect sweetness, not cloying, just perfect. Dangerously approachable at the moment! So why wait...? — 9 years ago

Hengst Alsace Grand Cru Gewürztraminer 2012

Acacia + pure, vinous sap + marzipan + electric acidity. Hengst is French for stallion, and this fits the bill. Superior! — 9 years ago

Particulière Roi Clovis Riesling

Waxy and petrolic, rich texture but without sweetness. Difficult on its own but with lamb curry really stood up. Really interesting wine — 9 years ago
