There is no getting around the fact that 2020 was a very difficult year for Hansel. The wines don’t show taint, but they fall into the category of wines affected by uneven ripening, which is evident throughout the range. Stephen Hansel opted to use less new oak in order to not mark the wines and also chose to bottle earlier than normal to preserve freshness. Those decisions might partly explain why these wines are angular today, but my impression is that most of it comes down to very challenging conditions, especially at the end of the growing season.
