[TN] '08 Huet Le Mont demi-sec

Tonight's dinner was a mixed grill of leftover BBQ and an improvised salad of roasted beets, heirloom tomatoes and avocado. With this I opened:

2008 Dom. Huet Vouvray "Le Mont" demi-sec nose: quince, a hint of guava and an earthy undertone palate: vivid acidity, off-dry, a deep core of fruit and a certain heft on the palate

Surprisingly, the wine worked brilliantly with the food, but would have been just great as an aperitif regardless. Notes on the Internet suggest that this may be shutting down, but if so it must have been awe-inspiring earlier because it's pretty fantastic now.

I love these wines and thanks to you, Dale, and the good people in this group I discovered them a number of years ago.

Bi!!

I do have more of it and do intend to hand on to it until it re-emerges from its dumb phase. I also have one bottle of the '96 Clos de Bourg Moelleux 1er Trie which I plan on opening in the twilight of my life ;-) I don't know if you recall this, but one of my most memorable wine experiences was drinking a bottle of the '45 Huet Le Haut Lieu Moelleux (a gift from my wife) a couple of years ago. I need no better incentive to let those sweeter Chenins age.
