Saturday, June 27, 2015 - unbelievable. I would only rate this so high because I have had amazing tokaji essencia and the great Alsace SGN. This wine was had after a 37 year old red Burg that rocked, a 2000 Bordeaux from the Nargaux appellation that was a second growth a Blanc Bordeaux from 2005 that was liquid mineral with fruit to spare and one of the most unique wines I have ever had that after two shared bottles remains unique in the world of Barolo and fortified aromatic wines.

Every possible type of heated it cooked sugar from butterscotch and toffe to salted caramels with every tropical fruit and every stoned fruit from it fresh form to its best dehydrated form. Turkish apricots for example with bright acidity that was more candied citrus making this wine effortlessly float about the mouth.

Michael Briadbent was do right in with this wine. I think we got hints of the wet wool after testing some course wool socks. Really once in a lifetime stuff.

I could be rating this perfect with no real hesitantly. 98+-100pts.
