  Huet-A-Thon (Bay Area Edition): This was absolutely stunning. Notably less sherried and much fresher on the nose than the ‘02 Demi-Sec. Lively and complex on the palate with a wonderful balance of tertiary notes and receding white fruit and citrus flavors. The acidity is very much on point and makes the sweetness less pronounced (this drinks more like a demi-sec). Surpasses the ‘96 Le Mont Sec by a hair for Wine of the Day.

  Ginger, candied pineapple, pears and hints of glycerine. Starting to loose some oomph and probably need to drink remaining bottles within five. Still wonderful and excellent.

  Apples, pears, honeycomb, a hit of ginger. Perfect amount of sweetness for our apple crumble and a big hit with the family at the end of Christmas dinner. Missing some acid to make this great, but it didn’t need to be any better for it to be fully enjoyed on the occasion.

  Deep golden with amber tint. Complex nose and palate with quince, honey, minerals, pears, blossoms, citrus. On the palate light on its feet, yet with outstanding richness and intensity of flavors. Shows some grippy but round tannins in the finish, not as bitter as in some other première tries. 5/13/17/8. This is not sweet enough to go with or, for my taste, even as a dessert. Better as an apéritif or e. g. with game. -2028.

  2002 Beaune and Volnay Premier Crus (San Francisco): Opened 2 hours before serving. Light golden. A discrete, lighter weight, less sweet Première Trie from Huet. Combination of red apple and pear, no botrytis, moderate intensity. Not unctuous at all but very enjoyable, fresh, and clean.
  
  Two nights later, it is still quite fresh with more cinnamon and finishing Clos du Bourg soil, but now it is easier to sense a dip in concentration in the mid-palate. In the final analysis, I think this is an excellent but not great Huet 1ère Trie wine.
