  The Fourteenth Stonefields Dinner (Guelph, Ontario, Canada): Purchased at Christies and authenticated by Michael Broadbent.
  Striated glass, bottle recorked at chateau in 1993
  
  Quite dark colour...deep amber with hint of orange at the edge.
  Nose as extremely pronounced....burnt sugar, burnt brûlée, orange spice, brown sugar, orange zest, marmalade, and christmas cake. This is aromatically insane.
  Palate is remarkable...it is viscous with notes of honey, orange marmalade, burnt sugar, roasted hazelnuts, minerals and spice and with no VA.
  Finish is long....never ending with layers of candied flowers, orange zest, marmalade, brûlée, minerals and candied almond.
  Wow...spectacular.
