 Tasted by acyso on 12/14/2022 & rated 93 points: A survey of Domaine Huet (Chicago, IL): Cursive label. Truth be told, not that different from the 1938 of the same wine; it just feels a little more taut and younger. Going back to these old secs from a bunch of wines with some residual sugar was a bit of a paradigm shift. This was lean and bone dry, and it feels like the aging was done more just by sheer force of acid than anything. It certainly has some aged characteristics, but this lacks the plush roundness that the old moelleux and demi-sec wines have. In contrast to the 1938, this feels a little more sharp and angular, with a modest amount of fruit. There's a bit of malic acidity, and the wooliness is much more apparent in these fully dry editions than any with residual sugar. (1055 views)
 Tasted by rossi.wine on 5/20/2015 & rated 88 points: Quite sweet on the nose with more notes of fruit, grapefruit, satsumas, yellow stone fruit. Also some wool and herbs. There is also a bit more richness on the palate compared to the 1964, but still quite lean and acidic. Good length. 87-89 (1706 views)
