 Tasted by VinoVeloVinyl on 12/30/2017 & rated 93 points: Seemingly life ever-lasting here. Although showing a hint of 'torrefaction' this remains startlingly fresh and elegant. Not explosive but demure. Drunk over three days and best on day three! I note that Richard Kelley MW has given this wine a very high commendation on his Guide to The Loire website. (894 views)
 Tasted by naimthattune on 8/6/2010 & rated 86 points: Although over the hill somewhat it was still fun to drink with flowers and tropical fruits on the nose, nice finish and enough acid not to be cloying (3085 views)
 Tasted by JeffGMorris on 10/7/2009 & rated 91 points: Dark yellow in color, this medium bodied wine had fresh, crisp acidity and flavors of minerals and lemons. More developed than most Huets of a more advanced age with a medium plus length finish. When judged on it's own this is a really nice bottle fo wine but when viewed as part of the Huet continuum I find it lacking the depth, concentration and noble nature of so many other Huets. This is it's biggest fault, which may be an unfair way to judge the wine. 50+13+12+8+8 = 91 (2693 views)
