  Seventeenth Annual White Truffle Dinner (Hughes House - Chicago IL): In 83/94/95 vertical. This was the lightest color of the flight! Aromatically alluring with dried apricot, baked apple and and honeycomb hints without any sense of anything sweet. Everything follows through on the palate with very good weight and persistence.

  first pour 15 minutes after opening. Soft on the palate and slightly bitter. An hour after opening this was much more flinty and steely, with polyurethane... and starting to cross over to German riesling territory.

  A truly brilliant wine and a great testimony to the age ability of Riesling. Far from the light and austere profile of young Clos Ste. Hune, this aged one is medium gold, thick and viscous and aromatically developed and deep on the palate. Enormously complex. As always, the smell and taste of Hune is difficult to describe but has an element of roasted peach or pear. Held up extremely well in the glass over hours. With a bit more acidity this would be nearly perfect.

  White Truffle Dinner: 83/86/01. A haunting nose that is so intense with a complex mix of sweet white fruit and savory elements. The palate is similarly stunning -- fully mature fruit that is layered with smoke and toasted herbs. Wow, so complex. Possibly the best Riesling that I've ever had.

  Fifteenth Annual White Truffle Dinner (Lake Bluff, IL): In 83/86/01 vertical. Savory and sweet at the same time with complex spiced notes throughout. Ultra concentration and shocking freshness for its age, I would have thought this a decade younger.
