Chris's 1978 Bordeaux Dinner (La Trompette): Deep orange colour - Irn Bru?! A lifted and characteristic Sauternes nose that doesn't mark it out particularly, but huge in the mouth, with a charge of marmalade that's so intense it verges on charred lime.

Still drinking beautiful! Opened on my 40th birthday with my husband and 2 other couples that collect wine. The wine was everything we wanted it to be and it was delicious with the Roquefort caramelized onion pear tart and spinach walnut salad.

D’Yquem har miksede notater og ganske lave poeng i 78, men denne perfekt lagrede flaska hadde alt du forventer av moden d'Yquem: flott balanse mellom sødme og syre-zing, honning og karamell, mandler, appelsinskall og masse liv.

Tasted double blind and compared to a 1927 Rieussec, basically a very old sauternes that has lost its sweetness. Butter, vanilla, lots of acidity, some almonds.

Slight busted cork .. was super sweet, apricot and fruit, very drinkable. Looking forward to the next bottle I have without leaky cork.
