anybody know?
2012 is probably drinking better right now – I found it rounder and riper than the lean and minerally 2011, but I personally like the 2011 more overall.
Thanks! Sounds like 11 is my wine.
The '11 is superb!
WA (Rheinhardt?) thinks differently
That probably makes the 2011 cheaper here in EU
PSA- JJ Buckley has the 11 Clos St. Hune on sale right now at like $165.
The '12 from Magnum was splendid recently. Quite full and accessible but by no means flabby.
For drinking now, or in 20 or 30 years?
The 12 is daughters birth year wine. Need to stock up.
tried to buy last week and they were out.
Visit at Trimbach - June 2018
Riesling Clos Ste-Hune 2012 : 18/20
Complet, minéral, épicé, fruité, menthé. Un vin qui se livre sans trop de retenue, mais sachant rester strict. Sage, parfaitement calibré, se finissant sur de nobles saveurs amères.
Riesling Clos Ste-Hune 2011 : 17/20
Particulièrement mûr (le millésime fut solaire selon Pierre Trimbach), ce vin baroque, chargé en alcool (15°), développe des goûts encore un peu limités de melon confit, d’eau de vie de poire, de zestes d’agrumes. Une indéniable présence dont il faudra surveiller l’évolution.
