Wednesday, June 5, 2019 - Dinner at S.K.Y. (Chicago, IL): I haven't had much vin jaune, but this bottle is just mind-blowing good. Dry sherry without the alcoholic burn is probably the easiest way to describe it, but that leaves out the insane amount of complexity here. The nuts, the saline, the dried fruit, and just so much more stuff that I can't even describe. Not to mention the liveliness and freshness of this 77-year-old wine. The acidity is so bright, the wine so fresh and vibrant, and the oxidative elements adding complexity and character. Obviously very special stuff.
