2/10/2009 - gout wrote: 97 pointsA rare wine which I purchased in 1980 for £4.99. ( I note a USA wine merchant asking $490 for the same bottle. High neck, gold / amber colour, mature complex nose of apricots, walnuts, exotic fruits; sweet and complex on the palate but with balancing acidity & no sign of being ovr mature. Excellent balance. Will still keep . An extraordinary 50 yr old bottle. |

4/6/2007 - gout wrote: 96 pointsPenultimate bottle from an en primeur purchased case of 12. Maybe I shall never again be able to afford such a fine wine. This wine has given much drinking pleasure over the last 5 - 10years and seems to get better with each bottle. Such a classy complex mature nose, silky smooth on the palate, heavenly flavours difficult to describe. Just sit back & enjoy it, and forget about the tasting notes ! |

1976 Domaine Huet Vouvray Moelleux Le MontChenin Blanc more |
4/9/2006 - gout wrote: 95 pointsMid shoulder so no great expectations prior to opening. However, wine was fine with no hint of oxidation. A medium gold colour & crystal clear. Complex chenin nose with no hint of age really, smooth medium sweet entry, well balanced & long finish. Perhaps just losing some of its fruit but remarkable for 1 30 year old wine. |

2001 Château SuduirautSauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more |
10/19/2008 - gout wrote: 94 pointsEven from half bottle, this wine is still in its infancy but has a complex nose which will improve further with more age, very well balanced fruit/acidity on the palate with layers of flavour. It is the fine balance of this wine which is so appealing, necessitating further sips at regular intervals to re-visit the fine drinking experience. There is no rush to drink this very fine Suduiraut. |

7/22/2006 - gout wrote: 94 pointsFirst tasted in 1983/4 - cask sample tasting at Nicholls & Perks in Stourbridge - impressive then & impressive now. has lost some of its original intense inky black colour ( as one might expect ) but this wine has always been excellent & had developed into a lovely smooth classic St Julien at 24 years old. Shared with my son who is currently 24 years old; he was impressed ! A complex bouquet, smooth middle palate & soft tannis on the finish. Nectar ! |
