This was an excellent experience. The color was nice and clear, bouquet was mature with complexity, intensity and elegance. Very good taste with smooth tannins and a nice freshness in the aftertaste. Best wine in a small vertical tasting with 4 vintages of Bucerchiale (2006, 1995, 1993 and 1986). Slightly better than 1995 and worth waiting for.

Tasted blind together with mature Chablis 1.cru. Quite yellow in colour, some sweetness in the bouquet and taste. The wine was over the top with a hint of oxidation, but there were still some acidity around which made the wine quite good to drink. Averaged 15,5/20 in the tasting. Personally I thought this wine would have been ded so I was surprised that it still was alive.

I brought this bottle to a tasting where it was tasted beside of Ch Climens and Ch Lafaurie-Peyraguey. The Tokay showed a very good balance, intense flavors of nuts and a delicate sweetness. For me it was more elegant than the Sauternes wines in this flight. The last 15% of the bottle was kept and tasted 4 days later. It showed excellent condition. Even if the wine was very good now, it will last for several decades more.
