[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.
