2003 Huet LHL demi, non-greffe

This is in a surprisingly pretty place right now. It's very rich and has fairly intense color. It's not very high in acid, and it shows lovely phenolic structure. What a great wine for the vintage, and awfully good with cheese right now.

I'm not sure where it's going over time, but this batch is going down the hatch.
 
"Batch is going down the hatch." How euphonious, we could use you to sell wine still remaining in the store from bad European vintages

I have a question that may be simple for most...
what is "non-greffe"? The french to english translation seems to be not grafted

Not grafted, i.e., own-rooted. Franc de pied. Pie franco. Like that.

I've been dying to try the non-greffe bottling but it seems to require ordering from England. Is any actually imported here?

Only by me.
