BYO (Michaels place): Passion fruit and pineapple flavor but for me the acidity is not high enough. The wine seems disjointed but overall, it is a decent wine.

Yellow apples, some honey and lime on the nose. In the mouth, the well integrated sugar is a bit of a surprise - with the vintage and the level of sweetness in mind. Goes well with lemon tart.

Served as a substitute for a corked Premier Trie version of this from 1989. Deep golden, with a nose of honey, lime and fur. Well integrated, and the sugar is very much a part of the wine rather than an added extra. Very fine, and surprisingly versatile in an encounter with a cheese platter.

A swathe of European 2003s (Chicago, IL): Served blind (except that we knew it was a 2003). Immediately identifiable as chenin thanks to the furry elements on the nose. The palate is only moderately sweet, and shows some alcoholic disjointedness as well. I guessed a demi-sec Loire -- and was sorely disappointed when this was revealed. There's no way this is anywhere close to sweet enough that I would consider it a Moelleux, and given how poorly put-together this is, I'm shocked that Huet could put their good name on the bottle.

Chenin Blanc aromas with honey and marzipan. Typical Chenin Blanc also in the mouth. Smooth and opulent. More semi sweet than sweet.
