Saturday, March 19, 2016 - TN: Huet Fete V: 1924-1959 (Racines, NYC): I've had much better showings of this wine, but at this age, it's all about the bottle. The wine still has its solid acidic spine, but it lacks the flesh and fruit of the '24 and what it normally shows, to stand up to it. It reveals traditional aged Chenin flavors and aromas of quince paste, apricot, tea and bergamot, but the fruit is mostly upfront and doesn't really carry through to the middle or finish. The finish is also drying. Maybe sounding a little more dour than what was in the glass, but it's tough to get the previous bottles out of my head. B+.
