Sweet peach, tangerine, wild honey and guava on the nose, which overall performs better than the palate. Dry palate with dried fruit and notes of heat dried wood.
Coq au Vin Jaune (NYC): If I had been served this blind, I might have guessed that it was a very old bottle of Huet. The nose is dominated by the same wooly/stony flavors that I usually associate with old chenin. The palate offers up a layer of tangy fruits on top of the incredibly deep minerality. With the zippy acidity and still-youthful fruit, I'd expect this wine to continue to improve with time. Definitely the wine of the night.

Very intense nose, nutty sherry-like, celery, caramel. The palate is not very powerful and the finish is very dry.
