Community Tasting Note

Monday, July 20, 2015 - Bright tulip color. Classic quince aromas with a whiff of honey. Very, very tight and dry before it began to unfold with 30 minutes of air. Medium weight, and as I've noted before, a texture that is a like a synthesis of Vouvray and Savennieres or Saumur (which is to say more earthy than Chenin Blanc from the east of Tours). Slightly glossy entry of pear joined by sharp citrus (grapefruit?), and then a headspinning finish of acidity and minerality. This shows NO residual sugar. This particular bottle was probably the freshest and most vigorous of some 8 or 9 tasted over the years. I dunno-people keep finding oxidized bottles of 2002 Huet, and I keep drinking and enjoying them. I can only hope that my luck doesn't run out.
