  Very dark amber almost brown. Madeira like sweet syrup with balsamic finish lasting 30 seconds with a nice pop of sweetness. Amazing freshness for a 70+ bottling. Not my “cup of tea” as I enjoy a bit more caramel like dessert wines but profound and emotional to drink such an old wine that performed beautifully on our anniversary.

  Thank you Donal for being so generous. Incredible rich nose full of flavours from nuts to dates and prunes. Rich deep palate but perfectly balanced and very long length. What a wonderful wine.

  Huet Evening, Including 1947 Haut Lieu (San Francisco): Simply labeled as 1947 Haut Lieu, but this is clearly the Premiere Trie. Amber, tawny in color. On first whiff, you could swear you were sticking your nose in a Pedro Ximenez sherry, but when you taste this, there is remarkably little oxidation and an incredible array of aromas and flavors-nuts, toffee, citrus, cherry, apricot. Great acidity including some VA. Not nearly as unctuous or weighty as say a Sauternes of this age might be. Endless finish, great staying power and even improvement as it breathed. Pretty amazing and easily the wine of the night.
