Loire valley (and a little Champagne); 9/14/2023-9/22/2023: From open 75cl bottle at Huet tasting room, Vouvray. Smells like cheese rind and sage (tagliatelle with fried sage leaves and parmesan?); hard-edged entry; tough mid-palate, closed and loaded with concentrated… something or other, which I couldn’t decipher this afternoon. Not much fun today. NR

this was awesome - not overly sweet - well balanced - kept drinkable in fridge for weeks.

Beautiful nose of apple, roast nuts, honey. On the palate, balanced sweetness and acidity...with more smokiness..just so pleasing.
