June 29, 2021 - From a .375, over two nights (yeah, I know, a half bottle over two nights; I have a bigger buying problem than a drinking problem)
This wine did not show its age, showing more primary Chenin fruit than maturing honey and lanolin. At first blush, I would have guessed Foreau rather than Huet Sec more acidity, and less sweetness and viscosity than Huet Sec from recent decades. It rounded out the second night, more recognizable as Huet Sec (dead oxidized sip left for the third night). All in all, I enjoyed it. -

January 31, 2021 - premox. We could tell there was a good wine there, but this was flawed.

February 29, 2016 - just smokin. consumed over 2 nights. just as good if not better night 2. much more integrated and polished a showing than previous bottles I'd opened. I think these bottles were reconditioned at the chateau before re-release. This btl was gleaming in fact.

November 21, 2015 - Wineberserker's offline: Tartufo Bianco (San Carlos, CA): From a half. Golden-orange color; nose has some oxidation, orange marmalade; palate actually shows no oxidation, dry, slight minerality, faded just a tad through midpalate; medium finish. Very nice, and a nice treat, but in the end it lacks something distinctive to help it stand out. 88

June 26, 2015 - Late release from RWC. Brought into Volt in Frederick, MD. Honeyed but earthy with a dry finish. In perfect condition, but this seems like the right time in its evolution to consume.
