Where to start?  How about magnificent?  How about exceptional?  How about demonstrably brilliant?

Huet is expensive, it’s a splurge for us, but every year Marquis on Davie gets a truckload and we pick up a few for the cellar.  We drank this too soon.  We couldn’t resist.  Yet it didn’t disappoint, not one iota.

The balanced fruit, a luscious caramel, sweetish without cloying, delicate but not lightweight, it defies description.  Three times as much as we like to pay for wine but worth every cent.

Price: Around $60 at Marquis.

Market Liquidity: A Christmas miracle.
