  Loire Night at Racines (Racines NY - New York, NY): nteresting nose of beeswax, almond, vanilla, and wool. The vanilla was quite profound and delicious. The palate was very nice. It had decent balance but the finish seemed a bit, dunno, soft/lacking/boring? I wish I had more experience with these older Huet’s, but for whatever reason this seemed to have everything going for it until that last second when you swallow the liquid. Big thanks to ross for opening this up and sharing it with us.

  With light, aromatics of lemon, orange, apple and lime, I should have stopped there. In the mouth, this fruitless, hard, charmless and overly acidic, tart wine sucked the juice out of my mouth like a sponge in surgery. With all the Gilman scoring controversy, please allow me to explain how this lifeless wine managed any points. A wine scores 50 for being wet and produced from grapes. This wine earned 20 Pts having some alcohol. It was still wet and sported a nice color along with some aromatics. Isn’t it nice to see the mystery of low scores explained?
