After my recent white Burgh come to Jesus experience. I must say in 22 W-Burghs are the shit despite the $$$. They are stunning. More to come. Worth the extra 30$ yes. The US counter punch the 22 Mark Enfield Watson Ranch at 1/2 the price - typically his top wine - was just too linear and less exciting in this particular vintage. So i threw in this 22 Hirsch. Honeyed Melon on the nose. Lacks a tad of acidity. Quite tropical and almost sweet. 13.7%. Touch hazelnut already and relative dark yellow. Seems too highly extracted. Definitely a crowd pleaser - but this at least today is not my kind of wine. Too rich. 65$. Just can’t match the finesse of the chiseled Bachelet -Monnot 22 white Burghs. And pricy for what it has to offer. More WB tastings to come - but soon i am done! Spend enough. — a month ago
One of Hirsch’s more rugged bottlings, being on the east ridge. Opened way to early. So much acidity and freshness overwhelmed the darker fruits you could tell sat beneath. Lots of promise. Will wait on the next one. — 3 months ago

Nicely texture, dark fruit, smooth tannins , light acidity, but not sappy still bright garnet red — 2 months ago
Beautiful nose and drinks better. Glad I bought a case. Will “test” it going forward. — 3 months ago

Feels like it hasn't evolved much, just softened a bit. Earthy, viscous, lingering primary notes.
Fleshy cherry and cedar with soft tannins and a minerals to think a little bit about. — a day ago
