Dark gold color Decanted. Now 2h after decant. Nice aromas of tart apples, a hint of honeysuckle, minerals, a hint of wet wool, some flowers and herbs. Palate w tart apples, some lemon, a bit of nuts and honeysuckle, lovely minerals, herbs, wet wool. Medium+ body Nice long finish with the tart apples and lemon lingering on the palate. Lovely.

Medium gold coloured. Powerful aromas of honeyed stone fruits, orange peel and a little butterscotch. Really comes alive on the palate with zingy acidity and lovely candied lemon fruits filling the mouth. It’s vibrant and intense. Becomes a touch more honeyed with time and maybe a little of the classic Chenin lanolin character comes through. This is lovely. Via Coravin.

(Le Haut Lieu (sec)) Huet Dear Friends, This is a quick weekend offer but it requires little introduction. Huet is one of my favorite producers and there are times when I tried to convince myself that I no longer need red wine in my cellar...if all of it could be replaced by Huet. Certainly Margaux and Lafite have a special place in my heart but Huet ranks right up there with any wine entity and the prices are downright silly for the level of quality and potential ageing ability (those of you that sampled the 1919 Huet at Per Se several years ago will attest to that). For more detailed information on the winery and TN's on all of the below, please see: http://www.thewinedoctor.com/tastingsprofile/huet.shtml A deal I couldn't pass up, this parcel contains pre-packed 6-packs with six different bottles of Huet from the 2007 and 2008 vintage - it's a stellar starter kit for anyone interested in the discovery of this top house. You can look up whatever you need to but all are excellent wines and the 2008 demi-secs are simply terrific (if I recall Neil Martin had a mini love fest over the quality of the 2008s and so did I - the 2007s are no slouch either). Here goes - "first growth" Chenin Blanc, in six different forms - from dry (sec) to sweet (moelleux) and in-between (demi-sec), one bottle of each wine at an outstanding tariff (I'll save you the time and effort of looking up each of these - it's a very good price and the provenance is second to none): Huet 6-Pack 1 - 2007 Le Haut Lieu (demi-sec) 1 - 2007 Le Haut Lieu (sec) 1 - 2007 Le Mont (sec) 1 - 2007 Clos du Bourg (moelleux) 1 - 2008 Le Haut Lieu (demi-sec) 1 - 2008 Le Mont (demi-sec) Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Loire8729

Gold yellow. Bee wax, honey, citrus. Very fine acidity. No noticeable rest sugar. Beautiful in balance. Still with a long live in front. Absolute top.
