Wednesday, December 14, 2022 - A survey of Domaine Huet (Chicago, IL): Picture label. One of the best bottles of old white wine I've ever had. This bottle is simply perfect. The cork fell straight into the bottle when I touched it, but fortunately there was probably enough mold growing on the top of the bottle that it formed a seal to protect the wine from oxidation. And this wine drinks like it was put in a time machine. Blind, I think 1990s would have been a reasonable guess. Inordinately complex, with a light-on-its-feet concentration that only the best aged sweet wines can develop. There's but a modest bit of sweetness here, but the only partially dried yellow and white orchard fruits and acidity that feels nascently secondary at most give this wine a vivacity that belies its age. But despite that, this has all the requisite complexity of a wine of its age. Truly incredible.
