Horn, Spätburgunder, 2022

Horn is the first of the two effective Grand Crus in the Adams range, and the step up is evident from the first nose. Silky, present rich red fruits, seriously good juice and flesh covering a wine imbued with a lot of concentration, fine tannins and impressive length. Horn is a recognised Grosse Lage (Grand Cru) and one of the region’s best sites. The Adams parcel is in the upper third of the vineyard, where, in addition to limestone, there is a fine layer of silt, which they say makes for balanced ripening. Fermented with 100% whole bunches, raised in 25% new French barrique.
