Monday, October 26, 2020 - Dark mahogany in color, the palate is of intense dried orange and apricot peel, reminiscent of the 1937/1921 d'Yquem profile, with honey, toffee, and unsweetened cocoa. Probably not as botrytised or sweet as it once was (one of our group said it reminded him of a hypothetical blend of Yqrec and d'Yquem) but balanced, long, fresh, complex and excellent. What a treat!
