Had a strong scent of beeswax. It had a big drizzle of honey and some preserved fruit flavours. There was custard apple creaminess in the mouth and it was round, rich and heady, perhaps just drying out a tad on the backend.

Decanted and served right away. Bottle in perfect condition. Very clear dark amber honey color. Nose round and sweet. Exploded in the mouth, so so so round, sweet, but also the acidity giving it the perfect balance.
Amazing and very very unique. None of the 5 guests had ever expected nor experienced anything like this - includidng many vintages of Yquem.
44 years and still young. Surely the winner of the evening despite the hard competition from Cheval Blanc. 100 points, which I never have given this before today! Sadly I only had one of these bottles in my cellar...

Truffles and a couple of bottles: Mouldy/musty unfortunately, didn't seem to blow off so likely corked.
