  Initial notes of struck match on the nose, giving way to straw, beeswax, honey, lemon, and white flowers. Golden apples, ginger, and a hint of honey on wet stones on the palate. It’s always a special occasion when I open a Huet wine, and this one delivered.

  Slight golden color. Caramel, beeswax, bark, pear fruit, stony. Oxidized notes. Toffee pronounced on the round palate. Good length with some RS balanced against acid, noticeable phenolics. I have enjoyed in past but not today. Lacks freshness, clarity. Maybe a slightly off bottle (though cork looked good)?

  Can’t add anything beyond Cutlass’s note below. This is lovely, both great now and likely to evolve nicely in the years to come. Will probably hold the other bottle I have a few years to find out.

  Unripe citrus aromas with lemon zest. Oily entry and then tart citrus. So much fresher compared to recent hot vintages and great acidity reminiscent of those taut Mosel Rieslings or of how Chenin Blanc used to be in the Loire… drink now or hold - this vintage will go the distance!
