  Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Wine Dinner (Buona Terra Italian Restaurant Singapore): Pronounced nose intensity with notes of honey, peach, melon, tropical fruit, toast. High acidity.

  Agree with those who think this ha lost its sugar and become a more savory, nutty version of the wine. Still pretty good but maybe not what you expected

  NobleRottersSydney - Bordeaux night (Glass Brasserie, Sydney): {cork} [Gordon] This is also a decade from our last tasting in 2013. Nose of vanilla bean, hint of caramel, old carpet. Aging but not too old. The palate – which is about medium weight – kaleidoscopes through honey, marzipan, apricot, vanilla, almonds and a butterscotch base. Goodness. It’s morphed into a sort of medium-dry palate; it doesn’t seem so much sweet as just decadent somehow. Permeated with a gently beguiling hint of decay, it finishes medium/long and is an absolute privilege to drink.

  This was amazing tonite, much better than the last bottle. Served out of 375 during the dessert course at Smyth in Chicago. All crème brûlée, toasted coconut, caramel and apricot.

  20 Top Wines of the 1983 Vintage: To conclude the tasting, we had three sweet wines. By then, I had reached my limit with wine and didn’t take detailed notes. Unfortunately, the Yquem (NR), which could have been a highlight of this vintage, suffered from cork taint. The other two, the Rieussec (91pts) with a slight wet cardboard note affecting an otherwise enjoyable experience, and the Tokaji Wine Trust Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos (88pts), which I found too cloying for my liking, were solid but not extraordinary, especially so late in the tasting.
