October 22, 2023 - This was pretty amazing. Intense apricot flavor, piercing acidity very well balanced with the sweetness and a long, long finish. Nose only medium although perhaps we had it too cold.

May 31, 2023 - While I much prefer the sophistication and depth of D’Quem, this was far more interesting and enjoyable than my go to Cali Late Harvest. Sweet apricot, honey and pecan, balance a high acidity. The finish was just a bit puckered.

May 4, 2023 - Quite a dark color with amazing sweet apricot fruit and great acidity and tension on the finish. Light on its feet and so fine and elegant as well. More to come here. 94+

December 14, 2022 - A survey of Domaine Huet (Chicago, IL): Coat of arms label. I didn't find this anywhere as convincing as the 1989 1ère tries. The nose here is definitely very wooly, and it's really the first wine where that furry, animal quality in chenin really sticks out, out of the entire lineup. The palate is certainly concentrated and sweet, but the fruit feels a little muddied and the botrytis nowhere as clean as it ought to be. Still, there's plenty of apricot and other dried fruits here, it's just that there's just not that extra level.

October 7, 2021 - Very marmalade driven, dried apricots, raisins. Caramel; very full and rich, dense with the sugar, tingling acidity still. Really bracing on the finish. Impressive fresh streak through this.
