December 14, 2022 - A survey of Domaine Huet (Chicago, IL): Cursive label. Drinks like straight-up old wine, but like the 1969, this is a wine that has aged through the sheer force of its acid. In that sense maybe the 2021 (or 2019) will be able to age like this a bit. But this has a stone-fruit based roundness despite all that acidity that I don't think the most modern incarnations have. Or maybe that doesn't show up for 70-80 years. Who knows? Actuarially speaking, I won't ever find out. Anyway, this has a waxy, lanolin-like quality to it, despite the extremely heightened acidity. I wish this had a little more complexity overall, especially for a wine of this age, and seeing what the 1949 could do...

September 18, 2014 - Domaine Huet Vouvray Masterclass 1934 - 2007 (West London Wine School): Amber, clear and bright. Waxy nose with honey - quite ungiving. Good acidity, oily texture with a citrus twist and an apricot after taste.
