  Huet-A-Thon (Bay Area Edition): Relatively fresh on the nose with no hint of sherry, but rather a subtle hint of lanolin. Racy, well-integrated acidity on the palate with notes of citrus, bitterness and spice. This is surprisingly dry tasting to me.

  Deep yellow. Crystalline, clear, pure quince and honey. Off dry, rich, focused, and penetrating. Despite the color, nothing advanced about the palate. Classic Demi-Sec. Loved this bottle.

  Predicted correctly that this would pair well with lightly spiced chicken tacos, guac, and queso fresco. With 8 years of age, the wine has started to soften and round out. I preferred it slightly above cellar temperature, perhaps 60 degrees.

  Recent notes are right on for this wine. Not especially giving aromas leaning towards floral and honey notes. The palate is more open, with soft fruit, velvety texture, and a distinctive mineral tang lingering on the finish, bordering on metallic. This is less open and expressive than a recent 2017 CdB sec. It offers a pleasurable drink now but should really have additional cellar time to deliver more of its potential.

  Always so delicious when you get a proper bottle. Almost medium gold color with a bright shine and reflection. Light to medium intensity nose of flowers, honey, and spice that is really pretty. Kiwi and tropical fruits are complimented by a vibrant and lithe acidic backbone, along with a mineral glaze to give it some real weight and coat the palate. Not especially complex, yet. I should put aside my other bottle for 4+ years.
  5+12+17+9= 93
