Now this was spectacular and much much better than the first bottle I had the other day. Fabulous sweetness of maple, honeycomb, filigreed acidity and bitterness of bitter orange and grapefruit. Fabulous.

A bit muted and tired at first but gained with aeration. The sweetness has gone to a large extent giving way to fabulous notes of bitter orange, dried apricot, spice

Huet Evening, Including 1947 Haut Lieu (San Francisco): Deep yellow with some orange. Citric and light bodied at first, somewhat disjointed, this really gained weight over time, but it never became perfectly smooth and integrated. Some almond kernel bitterness. Little botrytis. Amazingly young, and it only seemed more so as it opened. Better than my first bottle of this several years ago, but not great. Compared to other dessert wines, the weight is very satisfying, though.

Initially a port-like nose which became fresher with time. On the palate seville orange, spices, candied fruit. Great.
