  Turning 50; a few 1961s (Scott & Kates; Redwood City, CA): This bottle looked pristine. New label and capsule. When opened, it also had a new cork. Counterfeit? Not likely, as this was purchased through the Rare Wine Company, which is the official importer for Huet. This must have been reconditioned at Huet. A lovely, bright, dark yellowish/gold color; practically no sediment. Heavenly on the palate, with honey, marmalade, marzipan, honeysuckle and brown spices. Fabulous acidity. With air, a more pronounced mineral note emerges. Super vibrant, alive and unbelievably youthful. Wow! A perfect match with butter poached lobster tail and risotto.
