So impressed with this vintage. Deep and concentrated nose and palate. Displays quince and white fleshed fruits, coupled with a dense, oily mouthfeel. Superb length with very little acidity to talk about. Finishes sweet and voluptuous. Overall, the integration is textbook.

Stunning due to the aromatics, fruit profile and texture/density. Goes toe-to-toe with Aubert. Roasted pineapple and peach on the nose. Displays roasted almonds, nutmeg and stone fruits on the mid palate. Exceptional from Hudson.

See my prior notes for the 2020 vintage. These chards are our new find and we can’t get enough of them. It’s a beauty which is displaying a heady, oily viscosity. Let this congeal for a few more years and your patience will be rewarded.
