Wineflock - Alban Intro/Retro (Home): This wine was once again stellar, showing even better with a bit of bottle age if that's possible. Thick and sweet with great spice and complexity and light on its feet - not cloying at all. So sad that Alban has pulled out these vines... 95-96 pts.

Dinner w/ Dave & Chris (Our House): From 1/2 bottle. Deep gold/amber color. Very tasty, with rich flavors of dried apricots and honey. A touch of almonds/nuts on the finish. Thick and sweet but not heavy. Beautifully mature color; nuanced secondary flavors. The color and flavor profile hint at the 1967 Yquem (no kidding!). Really delicious; wish I had more.

Major honey, especially in the nose. Also pronounced apricots. Sweet and thick but not cloyingly sweet. Very enjoyable.

Glorious, refreshing stuff! Honeysuckle, honey, thick gobs of peach. Perfect after a summer meal.
