Mouth: On the palate
veering to smoky and working well
It is not the showiest of all the 2016s by a long stretch
The 15% alcohol shows on the nose but is largely swallowed up on the palate by the fruit
On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright cherry
Domaine Huet Vouvray 'Clos du Bourg' Demi-Sec, Loire, France 2022 375ml Costers del Gravet Mouth: On the palateThis voluptuous, full bodied, off dry white shows a lot of power, offering round pear, mango and honeycomb flavors that take a salty turn on the palate, with brine, crushed flint and bitter almond skin, backed by a subtle hint of brioche on the finish. Opening up in the glass, this gorgeous wine offers loads of immediate charm, but should have a long life ahead in the cellar as well. 95 Pts Wine Spectator
